"Launch prerequisites achieved." "Synchronization rate requirements are go." "Pilot, please specify linguistic form for cognitive functions." "Hmmm..." "Since it's my first time, I'll go with Japanese." "Roger." "The new model supplies didn't arrive on time." "It squeezes my chest." "I don't like it." "In addition, we're truly sorry about sending you into action with a provisional unit on such short notice." "I'm finally getting to pilot, so that's okay." "Since you're such a little troublemaker, consider it a request." "It's starting up!" "This is great!" "What a rush!" "Alright!" "Evangelion Unit-05 Provisional, ready for launch!" "Defend the Limbo Area at all costs!" "We cannot allow it to escape from Acheron!" "How could a containment system as secure as Cocytus be neutralized?" "It was within the realm of possibility." "Human means aren't capable of holding the Angels in check." "That's the conclusion we reached yet again through the fine dissection of the Third Angel that was excavated from the permafrost." "...And that's why I'll leave the rest to you!" "Happiness doesn't walk to me, because I'm walking to it." "One day, one step." "Three steps in three days." "Three steps forward, two steps back." "Life's a (one-two!" ") punch...**" "Oh!" "There it is!" "Field deployed!" "Target inbound." "Eva Unit-05 is about to engage the hostile." "Oh no!" "Too much dead weight!" "Nothing to do here but use brute force!" "Upper outer wall integrity compromised!" "The final seal is about to be breached!" "Target has broken through Limbo Area." "Now moving into Acheron." "Get Unit-05 to do something!" "You won't get away!" "Yowch!" "That really hurts!" "But this is fun, so I don't mind!" "We're running out of time!" "The unit isn't holding out, either!" "And there isn't enough power being rationed to force synchronization with the cybernetic arm components." "It can't be helped!" "I'm giving you an arm!" "Now hurry up and diiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee!" "Target lost." "Unit-05 has evaporated." "Pilot appears to have jettisoned." "Looks like she triggered Eva-05's self- destruct program for us without a hitch." "I feel a little self-conscious about getting a child all wrapped up in adult affairs." "Ouch..." "Synchronization with an Eva is more intense than people say." "Well, it's good to be alive." "I'm hesitant about getting adults involved in my plans..." "Farewell, Eva Unit-05." "Thank you for serving your duty." "Evangelion New Movie Edition:" "Division" "It's been three years since the last time we came here together." "I ran away then, and haven't been back since." "It just hasn't sunk in that Mother is resting here." "I don't even remember her face." "Man survives by forgetting his memories, but there are some things a man should never forget." "Yui taught me about the irreplaceable things." "I come here to confirm that." "You have no pictures of her?" "There are none left." "Even this grave is purely ornamental." "There are no remains." "So, my teacher was right." "You threw them all away." "I keep everything in my heart." "That is enough for now." "It's time." "I'm leaving now." "Father!" "Um..." "I'm glad I got to talk to you today." "I see." "So how was it, Shinji?" "You look so serious.*" "Did your time with your father not go like you hoped it would?" "Maybe it's no surprise you're down." "You were visiting your mother's grave..." "I don't like to talk about these things, Misato." "I know, Shinji, but it's good to talk about your feelings." "I know it's hard to deal with reality." "That's because when you look at reality, it's easy to get hurt." "Everyone knows that you saved us..." "You need to have faith in yourself." "I'm sure your father appreciates you, Shinji." "This is Katsuragi." "What's going on?" "The 7th Angel is entering the Sagami Bay." "The 2nd legion is attacking it." "A state of emergency was declared 3 minutes ago." "I have visual confirmation." "I have the pilot of Unit 01 enroute." "Execute a Task-03 immediately on Unit 00." "We already have a Task-02 in operation." "Task-02?" "No way!" "Is that Unit 02?" "Cool!" "He already destroyed the core!" "No, it's a feint!" "Well, that's everything!" "Unit 02 will be transported by route 31 in Sagami." "It will arrive at the 4th cage at approximately 8pm." "Wow..." "So Unit 02 is red!" "The differences don't end with the color!" "Units 00 and 01 were the Prototype and Test-Type, respectively..." "My Unit 02 is the world's first true Evangelion!" "Constructed specificially for battle!" "She's..." "The ace of the European Forces:" "Asuka Langley Shikinami." "She's the Second Child and designated pilot of Unit 02." "Long time no see, Misato!" "So that's the pilot of Unit 00, everyone's favorite..." "And..." "Which of you is the pilot of Unit 01, the one selected because of your father's influence?" "What are you, stupid?" "Where were you when you were needed?" "You're not any threat..." "And they let someone like you be an Eva pilot?" "How embarassing." "But I guess it really is by your father's influence..." "This wasn't the easiest thing to do." "The issues with Unit 05 and the 3rd Angel have been resolved." "Such an unfortunate "accident"..." "That means the Marduk Project in the Bethania Bay has been scrapped." "Everything is proceding as planned." "Concerning SEELE's most recent report..." "We already saw it." "The test data from Mark 06 may prove very useful." "Excellent." "Now, as I promised." "Here's the Lost Number." "The post that guides us toward the unification of all souls with God." "Yes, the key to unlock the door of Human Instrumentality." "The Key of Nebuchadnezzar." "Well, if that's everything for the moment" "I think I'll take a break." "Mr. Ryoji Kaji..." "He's a very reliable man, is he not?" "You look like you've lost some weight, Rit-chan" "Unfortunately, I gained 1570 grams." "I want to confirm that with my own eyes..." "That's nice... but this room is under surveillance." "No problem." "I already took care of the cameras." "Always thinking ahead, eh?" "I simply hate losing battles." "You've already lost this one." "That terrifying woman there is watching us." "Ryoji, it's been a while." "Hi, it's been a long time." "What are you doing here!" "?" "I thought you were stationed somewhere in Europe..." "I'm on assignment." "I'll be here at HQ for a while." "We can hang out together again, the three of us, just like when we were in college." "I have no intention of reminiscing on the "good old days" with you." "I just had some business with Ritsuko!" "I've already transferred all of Asuka's files to the personnel department." "Bye" "Misato seems to be jealous." "It looks like you do have an opportunity." "Well..." "I wonder about that..." "Asuka Shikinami..." "She pilots her Eva without a hint of remourse." "I'm home!" "What the hell?" "My room...!" "How rude..." "Leave my stuff alone." "Eh..." "Shikinami?" "What are you doing here?" "What are you, stupid?" "You've been replaced." "It's an obvious decision when you consider my clear superiority." "What!" "?" "Anyway, why are Japanese apartments so small?" "I could barely fit half my stuff in here." "And what, have the Japanese no sense of privacy?" "I can't believe I'm supposed to live in a room without a lock." "The door just slides right open!" "The Japanese way is to put others' needs before your own." "Misato...!" "You're annoying, get out with your garbage already!" "Actually, Shinji will continue living here." "Both of you lack adequate communication skills." "Fellow pilots, must live under the same roof and get along!" "I expect you to make the best of it." "That's an order." "Okay, everyone together:" "Let's eat!" "Ohhhhh yeahhhh!" "There's nothing like a beer after a hot shower!" "There's some strange creature in the bathroom!" "He's just a penguin..." "His name is Pen-Pen." "PERVERT!" "Moron!" "I don't believe this!" "That's not very lady-like behavior." "Isn't that right, Pen-Pen?" "I'm different than them..." "I'm special!" "That's why I..." "No, you don't have to be alone anymore, Asuka..." "I knew you wouldn't pick up, Father." "A field trip for social studies?" "Kaji did?" "Yeah, he said we were all invited." "No good will come from getting involved with him..." "Then I'll pass." "No, you can't, "harmony is to be valued"." "You're going, Asuka." "Is that an order too?" "Denying us landing permission as we're approaching the Tabgha Lunar Base..." "SEELE is playing dirty." "We now know that the construction procedure of Mark 06 differs from the others." "Having confirmed that is enough." "However, there shouldn't have been any plans after Eva 05." "Probably, there are undisclosed Apocrypha of the Dead Sea Scrolls." "SEELE intends to pursue a scenario based on those." "But even SEELE must be aware of NERV's ultimate goal." "Be that as it may..." "There is nothing left to us but to continue on our own path." "Even if that path conflicts with the divine plan." "A person?" "That's impossible." "Pleased to meet you..." "Father." "Awesome!" ""Committee for the Study and Preservation of the Marine Ecosystem."" "It's said that the red sea will return to its original color with the return of the near-extinct marine life that used to inhabit it." "This is a sacred, forbidden place that houses experiments of divine magnitude..." "And we get to see it all!" "I guess I should be grateful." "It's Kaji who deserves your thanks." "But first, just a few procedures..." "DECONTAMINATION LEVEL 01 Irradiation of long waves" "DECONTAMINATION LEVEL 02 Sterilization and D.E.C.O." "DECONTAMINATION LEVEL 03 Resterilization and D.E.C.O." "END OF DECONTAMINATION LEVEL 03 Re-resterilization and D.E.C.O." "Water a huge tank!" "Awesome!" "So this is how these animals lived before Second Impact?" "Wow..." "All these animals, alive!" "Impressive!" "Very impressive!" "Hey!" "What's on that animal's back?" "I think that must be a turtle." "The animals all seem to enjoy it here." "Idiots!" "I'm glad you were able to make it today, Ayanami." "Are you doing alright?" "Yes." "I've finished my work for the day, so today is a good day." "They're so tiny!" "They should swim to a larger tank." "Impossible." "These small ones can only live in this kind of place." "Like me..." "Let's eat!" "I don't believe it, it's delicious!" "Perfectly cooked and finely seasoned." "You did a great job with the artificial meat, too." "I didn't know you had it in you." "Shinji, I think you've found your calling." "Well all Misato ever ate before I moved in was instant food..." "So I kind of had to learn to cook." "Shinji, women love a man who knows his way around the kitchen." "But..." "Bullshit!" "Men don't cook!" "That is so old-fashioned..." "How stupid!" "What did you say?" "You get dumber every time you open your mouth." "Now look here...!" "Here, have some more." "I'm sorry Ayanami..." "Did you not like it?" "It's not that..." "I don't eat meat." "Why are the Japanese always apologizing for everything?" "As for you... every living thing eats something else in order to survive." "Everything that lives does so by ending other lives, no exception." "Listen here, favorite, are you trying to pick a fight?" "You're not getting any of this, you glutton!" "Idiot..." "How about some miso soup?" "It's hot." "Delicious..." "To think that this is our Mother Earth..." "It's so heart-breaking I don't even want to look at it." "And yet it was humanity who wished to create this world you see now, a pure world untainted by the Original Sin and forbidden to mankind." "I prefer a chaotic world full of sinners." ""Chaos" is merely a human misunderstanding." "The world is ordered and harmonious." "So it is the human will that corrupts the world?" "I can't believe it... 15 years ago the ocean was all blue like this!" "So far most of the ocean has been uninhabitable..." "But it looks like it could be restored." "But... this sea breeze..." "There's a funny smell to it." "That's the smell of rotting fish." "It's a testament that there's life as opposed to the real ocean, this dead, red puddle." "In fact, there was a time when this world was full of life." "That's what I wanted you to know." "I'm glad I came." "I wish Misato had come with us." "There's no way Katsuragi would come." "It would remind her too much..." "Remind her of what?" "Second Impact." "Do you know why Katsuragi joined NERV?" "Her father was the type who valued his work over spending time with his family." "She hated that so much that" "I believe she ended up hating him as well." "You hate your father, huh?" "Just like me." "Just like me." "But then in the end it was her father who saved her life." "Living teaches one many things." "When someone gives up their life to save yours..." "It makes you wonder about their motives." "Even if you do feel alone..." "You're not the only one who's had a tough time in life." "The Mauna Kea Observatory spotted it 3 minutes ago." "We're calculating its trajectory." "The number 3 spy satellites have visual confirmation." "Transferring to view screen." "Its A.T. Field can even distort incoming light." "Impressive." "Where's the estimated impact site?" "No wait, let me guess..." "Here." "The MAGI estimate that there is a 99.9999% probability it will land on NERV HQ." "The use of N2 aerial mines didn't even scratch it." "Is there any way to knock it out of orbit?" "We believe its A.T. Field is so concentrated that it can repel most assaults." "That same energy will be released on impact with the ground." "So this Angel is basically a huge bomb." "The crater that the 8th Angel would create if it detonated would be about 420,000 meters in diameter and -15,000 Geoides." "Tokyo-3 would be vaporized." "Not to mention the Geofront..." "Central Dogma would be completely exposed." "Any word from Commander Ikari?" "The Angel's presence is blocking all our transmissions." "There's no way to reach him." "That means everything's in my hands." "Send notice to the Japanese central government and each ministry." "I'm declaring a D-17 Special Emergency on behalf of NERV." "Have the radio stations tell everyone in a 120 kilometer radius to evacuate." "That's no problem." "The government officials have already taken refuge ahead of everyone else." "All civilians in the city have been evacuated." "All noncombatants in the C and D districts please report to your designated shelters." "Matsushiro agrees with the recommendation of the MAGI." "Alright, so what the plan?" "The Eva units can't fly up into the atmosphere." "The interference with our communications in space is an issue." "And it's impossible to attack from down here." "Our enemy is out of range and we can't hope to reach it." "Are you serious?" "Yes, absolutely." "And you can this a plan?" "The MAGI calculate a 99% probability that this will fail." "And even if it works all 3 Evas will sustain damage." "As head of the Engineering Department I can't support this idea." "The probability of success is above zero." "You might as well be praying for a miracle." "Protecting Lilith and Unit 01 is your top priority." "We don't have the luxury of waiting for things to work out." "Humanity has to make its own miracles." "Colonel Katsuragi!" "This is my duty." "This is my decision." "Besides, defeating the Angels is my top priority." "And is that your job?" "Or your personal vendetta?" "This is your revenge against the Angels." "What?" "I'm supposed to catch it with my hands?" "That's right." "You'll deploy your A.T. Fields to the maximum and use the Evas to catch the Angel." "We can't tell exactly where the Angel will land because our long-range communications are out." "That's why we've developed this strategy that relies on coordination between the three Eva units." "Nonsense, I can handle this one on my own!" "Don't be a fool." "There's no way a single Unit could cover the entire calculated impact zone." "What are our positions based upon?" "Women's intuition." "Is that all?" "What's our chance of success?" "Only god knows." "All I need faith in is myself!" "I'm plenty capable of saving humanity on my own." "The success of this engagement won't be decided by one-on-one combat." "Don't you think I'm good enough?" "That's not the point!" "We need all three of you to work together..." "To create a miracle." "Being inside an Eva..." "It may be weird, but..." "Being here makes me calm, puts my mind at ease." "Isn't that unnatural for a weapon?" "It's probably just nostalgia." "But that smell..." "It smells like my mother." "It smells like Ayanami." "Units--on your marks." "Since our estimates our based on unreliable data" "I want each of you to give priority to your instincts." "Get your Evas into a position to catch it." "The objective is at 20,000 meters and approaching." "Then it's time for the operation to commence." "Launch." "The Angel has altered its A.T. Field." "Its trajectory has changed as well." "The recalculated point of impact is... at the 2nd Key." "The objective is gaining speed." "What?" "It's heading my way." "This is my chance!" "I need a little help here..." "Misato!" "Quick, raise numbers 605 through 675." "Right!" "Now raise numbers 1072 through 1078!" "Objective has descended to 12,000 meters." "Deploying A.T. Field to maximum!" "I'm here to help!" "Unit 02, the core..." "I know, I know!" "Don't tell me what to do!" "Did it just dodge!" "?" "Accept your defeat already!" "Thirty more seconds..." "Asuka, hurry!" "Yeah I know, but..." "The favorite!" "?" "Hurry!" "Asuka!" "I know, I know...!" "Thank you... all of you." "We have resumed communications." "We're receiving a transmission from Commander Ikari." "Put him on." "My apologies." "All three Eva Units have been damaged." "I assume full responsibility." "Also, one of the pilots is wounded." "I do not care who takes responsibility." "The details are unimportant." "This is an acceptable level of damage for having destroyed the Angel." "Well done, Colonel Katsuragi." "Thank you." "I would like to speak with the pilot of Unit 01." "I already know what happened." "Good job, Shinji." "Sir!" "I leave the rest to you, Colonel Katsuragi." "Yes, sir." "Being the retrieval of all three Eva Units." "Getting Unit 01 to the maintenance cage takes priority." "I couldn't have... done this on my own." "This whole time, it's only natural I've been alone." "Loneliness..." "It's not supposed to bother me." "Ah, wa-wait..." "Don't look over here." "Ah..." "Um, okay." "I'll put up with you for a little longer." "Ah, um..." "Shikinami-san?" "Starting today, to avoid confusion we'll go by our first names, okay?" "I'll make it special and let you call me Asuka." "And I'll call you stupid Shinji." "Then..." "Um..." "Asuka, why do you pilot Eva?" "That's a stupid question." "Be quiet, stupid Shinji." "I pilot Eva for myself." "What about you?" "I'm...not really sure." "Are you stupid?" "That's just avoiding responsibility, isn't it?" "I think I want my father's praise." "Today was the first time that happened." "I think I'm happy about being praised for the first time." "Maybe that means father already appreciates me." "What Misato-san was telling me might be right." "You really are stupid." "Lunch time, lunch time!" "This is the single best thing 'bout school." "What?" "!" "You didn't bring lunch?" "I didn't have time to cook last night because of homework!" "And so you're telling me to go without lunch?" "!" "I'll remember to make it tomorrow!" "What's this?" "Married couple fighting' again?" "It's not like that!" "Asuka, can I borrow your exfoliant?" "Drop it and buy your own, Misato!" "Tightwad..." "And now, it's time for food, foood!" "Let's eat!" "Hmm, today it's so-so." "It shows he's skipped.**" "Errr, Asuka-san?" "Can I eat with you?" "Okay, but I won't share my lunchbox." "Here, take this." "It's just that, it seems like you never eat." "Thank you." "I'm glad I found the courage to approach you." "Hikari, was it?" "You can have my leftovers." "Ah..." "I'm full." "Thanks for the food!" "Taking a late lunch?" "Thanks." "Shinji made this for you, right?" "You never do any cooking." "Well not all of us have as much freetime as you." "Running this place means I have a lot of work to do." "So responsible, just like you always are." "That's one of your qualities, but it's also your weak point." "I knew this was going to be a challenge." "Can you just give a minute of your time?" "I would, but I'm afraid my calendar is full." "You're never going to find a man if you're always that tense." "And why would you care?" ""Thank you"..." "Words of gratitude..." "Words I had never used." "I've never even said them to him." "Stand!" "Bow!" "Be seated!" "Hmm?" "Ayanami is absent again?" "Oh well..." "Yesterday she seemed fine..." "I wonder what happened to her." "Just like me..." ""Can't live anywhere but here"..." "What did she mean by that?" "Rei..." "It's time for dinner." "Commander Ikari..." "What is it?" "Do you enjoy meals?" "Yes." "Do you like eating with another person?" "Yes." "Does cooking for people make them happy?" "Yes." "Commander Ikari..." "Could I invite Ikari-kun and the others to dinner sometime?" "No, my schedule is..." "Take care of Shinji for me, dear." "...Fine." "Go ahead." "As far as I can tell..." "It looks like the damage the Evas took in the last battle could impair our ability to fight in the future." "Given that, shouldn't they waive the requirements of the Vatican Treaty?" "Maybe, but the maximum number of Evas any country can have is still restricted to three, regardless of whether or not they're damaged." "As for now, repairing Unit 01 is our first priority." "We've been using all the spare parts to repair Unit 00..." "At least there's no sign of the Angels." "Every country that signed the Treaty is manipulating it to their own ends..." "And no one is willing to discuss the terms." "There are complaints from the Europeans and Russians, the loss of Unit 05, and the Asians are making demands too..." "Politics only breeds problems." "No one's satisfied with advancing civilization and protecting humanity!" "Out of the way, incoming!" "My glasses, my glasses..." "Ah, sorry." "Are you okay?" "Hi, Mari here." "Yes, I seem to have landed off target." "It looks like I'm in a school of some sort." "What!" "?" "Well, you told me to enter into Japan covertly!" "Why don't you have the Euro people work this out?" "Just be there for my extraction later, okay?" "Thanks!" "You smell good." "Like LCL." "You're interesting." "So then, this is a secret between the two of us, Nerv's puppy." "Huh, that's weird..." "Hey there!" "How about it?" "Let's go on a date sometime." "I'm a boy." "No problem." "Love has nothing to do with gender..." "Just kidding." "Here." "The scent of earth..." "Are you already worn out?" "Your salary is by the minute." "Wasn't my salary just the canned coffee?" "And you said this is a date." "I thought you'd be a more serious person, Kaji-san." "Adults know the right time to be sly." "These are watermelons, aren't they?" "Yeah, aren't they cute?" "It's my hobby." "Cultivating something and making it grow is really great." "You can see and learn so much from the process." "Like what you enjoy." "And about what hurts, too, right?" "Do you hate pain?" "I don't like it..." "Have you found something you enjoy?" "That's fine, too." "But knowledge of suffering allows you to be kind to other people." "Because it's different from being weak." "...Do you like Katsuragi?" "Misato-san?" "No, well..." "I don't hate her." "Protect Katsuragi for me." "I can't do anything, but it's your duty to do so.**" "I'm counting on you." "Good morning." "Ayanami?" "!" " She's greeting us?" " Ayanami, of all people?" "Ayanami, are you alright now?" "Yes." "I'm fine today." "What happened to your hand?" "Dr. Akagi was able to bandage it earlier." "What for?" "It's a secret." "I should be able to tell you soon enough." "Rei has changed, huh?" "Yes." "It's hard to believe that girl would do something for other people." "I wonder what the cause is?" "Couldn't it be..." "love?" "Come on!" "There's no way." "If it's for that idiot Shinji then it should be a little mild, I guess..." "I'm home!" "Huh?" "Misato, you're back early." "Yes, I just got back from Headquarters." "I'm going to take a bath, change my clothes, then head back." "Oh-ho, what do we have here?" "Asuka, are you cooking dinner for Shin-chan, too?" "That's not it!" "Uh, it's for that girl..." "what's-her-name, Hikari!" "It's nice that Rei and even Asuka are becoming interested in the opposite sex." "What do you mean?" "The favorite isn't doing this too, is she?" "!" "Well, yeah." "It seems that Rei has a long term project to finish." "What's that?" "She wants to play Cupid between Commander Ikari and Shin-chan so they can develop a bond." "Her strategy is a home-cooked dinner." "It's straightforward on her part.**" "She really wants father and son to get along." "It requires a lot of effort on her part." "(Invitation: "To the Pilot of Evangelion-02")" "She's doing this for stupid Shinji..." "It's kind of a surprise for Shin-chan, so don't let him find out." "Of course I'M not going to say anything!" "Vanished?" "!" "Eva Unit-04 and the entire Second Branch disappeared?" "!" "There's no data from ground zero." "This is awful." "We have satellite confirmation of the A.T. Field collapsing, but the details are unknown." "It seems Unit-04 was at the center of the explosion...**" "But our own Evas are okay, right?" "Unit-04 was--!" "The problems at the time of activation can be attributed to the fact that Unit-04 was a new type of self-contained testbed." "...Or so it seems." "The information from Nerv's North American branch is restricted, even for Akagi-sempai." "I know..." "Eva Unit-04..." "The purpose of the experiment was to gather data about next generation development." "It's not surprising that this happened, but..." "Was this really an accident?" "Ma'am, three please!" "Toji, it's not like you to treat us." "Shinji, don't be so serious just because I felt like treating you." "His sister's health is better." "I guess that's why he's being nice." "Shut up!" "You don't need to tell him that much!" "Moron!" "Hey, Ikari." "Isn't Unit-03 coming to Japan?" "Is it?" "I didn't know that." "It's rumored they're suddenly being forced to do the activation experiment by the U.S." "Well, there's lots of unknown information on this end." "I wonder who will pilot." "I haven't heard anything about it." "Being a pilot sounds great!" "I wonder if I could become one?" "!" "Misato-san is the one who decides that, not me..." "Damn!" "I lost." "Evangelion Unit-05 was recently lost." "Now Unit-04 has been lost, as well." "The loss of both units will be a hindrance to the project's execution." "However..." "It is within the scope of amendment." "There won't be any problems." "The U.S. government has inevitably presented you with Unit-03." "Your country's government must cooperate." "It is a state-of-the-art unit." "You should have a worthy main battle force, no?" "**" "Even now we are carrying out the Angels' annihilation." "We can't rely on a unit that hasn't been tested yet." "If the supplemental revised budget for the repairs to Unit-00 could be approved..." "The role of the prototype model is already ending." "There's no need." "Indeed, there are other matters that should be given priority." "The true Evangelion we desire..." "With its birth and Lilith's revival, the time of the covenant will come." "By then we must perform the necessary ceremonies." "For the Human Instrumentality Project." "I understand." "Everything will go according to Seele's scenario." "The true Evangelion..." "Its completion will be ushered in by the current body containing Unit-01." "The Mark-06, isn't it?" "This means what they are trying to create is not a false god, but a true god at last?" "Yes." "We must hasten the awakening of Unit-01." "Eva Unit-02's core unit separation complete." "Why does my Unit-02 have to be sealed?" "!" "You know about the Vatican Treaty, don't you?" "This is the condition for us receiving Unit-03." "If that's the case, you should put away Unit-00 since it's being repaired!" "Europe hasn't given us clearance for possession of Unit-02." "Until that happens, there's nothing we can do." "It's currently without a pilot.**" "Until we receive notice from the Europeans, we have to follow orders." "With the exception of me piloting, you mean." "The Evas are combat weapons." "Everything has a backup prepared." "Including the pilots." "No way..." "It's the only place I'm unique.**" "Eva is the mirror of your heart." "What was that?" "!" "You shouldn't depend on the Eva." "You can be happy without piloting it." "Stop being so haughty!" "You're the favorite to boot!" "I'm a genius who became a pilot with my own strength!" "I'm different from the rest of you!" "I'm simply connected.**" "I'm simply connected to Eva and other people.**" "Shut up!" "You're just a good doll that does whatever Commander Ikari wants, aren't you?" "!" "I am not a doll." "You're a doll!" "Let me teach you a little something!" "Humph!" "You have a lot of energy for a doll." "Just answer one thing for me." "How do you feel about that idiot?" "Idiot?" "When I say idiot, it's obvious I mean stupid Shinji." "Ikari-kun?" "How do you feel about him?" "I don't really know..." "Why do Japanese have to be so...?" "!" "Just say what you feel already!" "I don't know, but..." "I feel warm around Ikari-kun." "I want to feel warm towards him, as well." "I want to feel warm about him getting along with Commander Ikari, I think." "I get it." "You really are an idiot!" "That means you like him!" "I'm looking forward to that dinner." "But I wonder if Ayanami's cooking will be okay?" "...Father's going to be there, after all." "That's the dummy system..." "It's every bit a pilot supplement in name only." "It makes not only fully automated control, but even generating an A.T. Field without a pilot possible." "The children in control seems more humane than this." "That new dummy system..." "I can't stand the thing!" "It was a sealed delivery direct from Golgotha Base, so I still don't know much about it." "I can't allow something so dangerous to be put in charge of an Eva." "Is it wise for man to put his faith in Eva?" "You trust Shinji..." "But do you trust in him blindly?" "Don't you have information about the highest levels of this organization..." "Of SEELE?" "You should stop trying to find out about their plans..." "I don't like this." "The Humanity Instrumentality Project..." "Why is it kept secret from Nerv?" "**" "That's..." "Something I want to know myself." "You know, I didn't ask you to dinner just so we could talk about work." "You've changed since college..." "Damn, I still can't get over what I saw back then..." "Despite our desires, we cannot think only of ourselves." "Shinji and the others are fated to shoulder even heavier burdens." "Yes, it may be too much for children to bear." "But we have no choice but to depend on them." "Yeah?" "Understood..." "I guess that puts an end to our date." "Ritsuko?" "Yeah." "She wants me to select a pilot for Unit 03." "Selecting new personnel is your responsibility after all." "It is, but before the arrival of Unit 03 was postponed." "Now it's down to my decision." "So the date of Unit 03's test activation is the same as the date of the favorite's party?" "So Asuka has been chosen." "Right." "I'm leaving for Matsushiro on the last flight out." "Talk to you later, Maya." "Good-bye." "Um, Dr. Akagi?" "About the Second Child..." "Thank you." "You have one new message." "First message:" "Here Rei, go ahead and speak." "Thank you." "I'm not stupid!" "I just want to pilot an Eva." "Maybe it everything goes well with Unit 03 they'll agree to paint it red." "Good morning, Aida!" "Hey, where's Toji?" "At the hospital in Odawara..." "They're discharging his little sister from the hospital today." "Is that so?" "I got a message from him." "He says, "Don't worry about my sister anymore, thanks."" "Ikari, you got off easy." "Hey..." "Ayanami's cooking you dinner, right?" "I'm so jealous!" "The supervisor in charge of the prolonged Unit 03 manned activation experiment has arrived." "Please report to central command." "We are commencing connection of the umbilical cable." "Connecting restraining bolts." "Primary energy source has been loaded." "Boot up voltage is within parameters." "We have finished inserting the Entry Plug." "All 1350 checks on the list are completed and verified." "Everything is ready." "Understood." "Begin countdown." "Countdown has begun." "All technicians evacuate the area." "Pilot has completed medical examination." "She is waiting in the lift." "I'm sure it'll be another big success for Ritsuko." "A direct line?" "It must be Asuka." "What's wrong, Asuka?" "We have the test soon." "I just wanted the two of us to chat, Misato." "Right." "I need to express my gratitude.**" "Thank you." "Thanking me is fine." "It's my duty to help protect the ignorant masses since I'm an elite pilot." "At first I didn't want to go to that dinner..." "Being with other people is fun, but it wears me out." "I don't like to see other people happy but I like piloting Eva." "I've always liked being alone, and I never needed close friends." "Since the beginning, I've never had someone take care of me properly." "At first, I felt that being the top pilot at Nerv meant I could go to that dinner." "But now, I realize it's good to be around other people." "Although it seems like I can't fit in." "That's not true." "You're a nice person, Asuka." "I think this is the first time" "I've felt comfortable talking with you, Misato." "I had no idea it could feel so good to get this off my chest." "This world is full of interesting things you need to learn." "You should have fun." "Yeah." "You're right." "Thanks, Misato." "By the way..." "I don't mind the red, but isn't this test plugsuit... revealing a bit too much?" "Entry initiated..." "LCL charge and pressure levels normal..." "Plug sensors are clear..." "Readings within error range..." "Roger." "Move onto phase 2." "Initiate second stage connection." "That's right." "I'm smiling." "Plug depth is over 100." "Mental contamination is critical." "That fast?" "How?" "Pilot safety depth exceeded!" "Pull the switch!" "Before we lose control!" "**" "Abort the test!" "Eject the pilot!" "We can't!" "There's a high energy reaction in the body!" "It can't be..." "An Angel!" "An explosion in Matsushiro...?" "What's the situation?" "Unknown." "The explosion was centered on the test cage." "We've confirmed the destruction of the facilities." "Dispatch a rescue unit and the 3rd Battallion at once." "Take care of everything before the JSSDF intervenes." "Roger." "Unidentified moving object detected south-west of the epicenter." "Pattern orange." "We cannot confirm if it's an Angel." "Level 1 battle stations." "Ikari?" "!" "All hands, go to Level 1 battle stations." "Unit-00 will remain in the repair cage." "Load Unit-01 with the Dummy Plug." "We'll configure it later." "Umm, what happened to Misato-san and Asuka and the others?" "Right now the rescue teams are moving in." "Don't worry about it." "But how will we fight the Angel without Misato-san?" "Commander Ikari is taking direct control of this operation." "My father?" "Visual received from the Tou region." "Transferring to the main monitor." "Just as we thought." "Transmit the deactivation signal." "Force eject the entry plug." "It's no use!" "It doesn't recognize either the deactivation signal or the plug ejection code." "An invasive structure that appears to be the core is confirmed surrounding the entry plug." "Pattern analysis is in!" "...It's blue." "Evangelion Unit-03 is hereby abandoned." "Reclassify the target as the Ninth Angel." "Target is approaching." "All hands, prepare for surface combat." "Surface-to-surface combat in progress." "It can't be... an Angel?" "That's the Angel?" "Correct." "That's the target." "The target?" "But isn't that an Eva?" "It can't be..." "The target is advancing." "You will defeat it." "You say it's the target..." "But Asuka's still inside." "Asuka is..." "An entry plug?" "She's still inside it." "Unit-01's vertebral armor is being compromised!" "The contamination has penetrated 6,200 layers!" "This type of invasion is giving us trouble." "Unit-01's A.T. Field is unstable." "There's a problem with the life support." "The pilot is in danger!" "Not good!" "Cut the synchronization to 28%!" "Wait." "But Ikari, if this continues, the pilot will die." "Shinji, why don't you fight?" "Because..." "Asuka is still inside..." "Father." "It doesn't matter." "It's an Angel." "Our enemy." "But I can't do it." "I can't just kill someone!" "You will die." "I don't care!" "It's better than killing Asuka!" "Never mind." "Cut all synchronization circuits between Unit-01 and the pilot!" "Ikari!" "Cut them, sir?" "Yes." "Switch control over to the dummy system." "But sir, the dummy system still has many problems." "And without Dr. Akagi's approval..." "It's still better than the current pilot." "Do it!" "Yes, sir." "W-What is this?" "What are you doing, Father?" "!" "Control system transfer complete." "Dummy System has 208 seconds of active time remaining." "No matter." "Release the system." "Commence the attack." "Is this the power of the dummy system?" "Dummy system nominal." "Control limiters have been rescinded." "Why, father..." "Why..." "What did you do?" "!" "Shit!" "Stop it!" "Stop, stop, stop, stop..." "Stop, stop, stop, stop...!" "What's that noise?" "Stop, don't...!" "Stop...!" "I'm alive?" "Kaji?" "Katsuragi... thank goodness." "How's Ritsuko?" "Don't worry..." "She's in better shape than you." "I see..." "What about Asuka?" "And Eva Unit 03?" "It appears to have been disposed of as an Angel." "By Eva-01." "Eva-01's interlocking circuits have been cut." "What about the force eject signal?" "It's being blocked from inside the plug." "It's not being accepted." "That's enough, Shinji-kun!" "If we hadn't done that, you'd be dead!" "Don't make me more angry by saying such things." "Eva-01 has 285 seconds of active time remaining." "That's enough to take out half of Headquarters." "In his current state, he'll do it, too." "Shinji-kun, listen to us!" "Without Commander Ikari's decision, you would have been killed!" "It doesn't matter!" "But it's the truth." "I already said it doesn't matter!" "My father..." "That bastard tried to kill Asuka..." "With my hands!" "Why?" "!" "Why?" "!" "Why did you do that?" "!" "Father, you don't understand anything!" "I believed in you and you made a fool of me!" "Father, you need to lose somebody important, too!" "Then you'll understand what I'm feeling!" "Increase the pressure of the LCL to maximum." "We have no time to waste on a childish tantrum." "I've still got a direct control circuit..." "Damm!" "Damn!" "Damm..." "Ikari-kun, you're always listening to that." "Yeah." "It used to be my father's." "Just like Ayanami's glasses." "But then he decided it wasn't needed anymore." "Just like me." "When I lived with my teacher, I'd listen to this all the time, too." "I'd close off my ears and my heart so I wouldn't have to deal with this world I hate." "World you hate?" "That's right." "A world with the father I hate." "A world with the frightening Angels and Evas." "A world of suffering and uncertainty." "A world where father used the Dummy System when I piloted." "A world where my friends and I are hurt." "Even though good things have happened, too... it all came to nothing in the end." "That's why I'm rejecting this world I hate." "I thought Father was protecting me from this world I hate." "But I was wrong;" "he was using me for his own gain." "Ikari-kun, did you try to understand your father?" "I tried to understand." "Nothing happened, did it?" "I said I tried to understand!" "I hate my father!" "Father abandoned me!" "You're going to run away from unpleasant things again." "What's wrong with that?" "!" "What's wrong with running away from unpleasant things?" "!" "Here again." "I hate this already." "The cell organization has eroded by disappearing.**" "The Angel mentally contaminating her is a possibility." "It's best she's kept in isolation for the time being." "They're not going to treat her, are they?" "Her body is a valuable sample." "It's impossible." "Get out, Shinji Ikari." "The Commander wants to see you." "Disobeying orders..." "Private appropriation of an Eva..." "Blatant intimidation..." "These are all criminal offenses." "Do you have anything to say?" "Yes." "I don't want to pilot Eva anymore." "I see." "If that's the case, leave." "Are you running away again?" "You want to take responsibility for all the victims." "And you don't want what other people give you." "Shinji... grow up." "I can't if I don't understand any adults." "It's me." "Erase the Third Boy." "From now on, Eva-01 will be activated through the Dummy System." "A backup is unnecessary" "We haven't seen Rei since Shinji-kun was detained." "Lately things have changed from our expectations." "There's a feeling of distance between those children." "But with this, we're limited to only one pilot." "You could say we're going back to the starting point." "I understand how you feel but your records at Nerv will be deleted." "You'll be under constant surveillance, so there will be quite a few restrictions placed on your activities from now on." "Don't forget, Suzuhara-kun and Aida-kun left you lots of messages on the answering machine." "They're worried about you." "It doesn't matter, since I'm leaving." "You're not going to ask about Rei and Asuka, are you?" "The thing is..." "I guess I tend to be indifferent about humanity and the world." "As a result, now's the first time I find myself in someone else's position, so I finally understand my late father a little better." "It's simply Nerv doing what's needed." "Commander Ikari did what was necessary with you piloting Eva, too..." "But, I put my feelings ahead of yours." "I feel I understand what a heavy burden you're under..." "I know right now you're disappointed with what happened when you piloted Eva." "But... even if that's the case, I, you...!" "**" "That day... when Rei called Commander Ikari she wanted you and your father to get along, Shinji-kun." "She wanted you and your father to smile together..." "I have nobody to smile with anymore." "The next stop is Kamigoura, Kamigoura." "The exit will be on the left." "As of now, the Japanese government has declared a state of emergency." "This train will stop at the nearest shelter as per evacuation procedures." "Please evacuate to the nearest hall once the incline has lowered." "It's an Angel..." "And naturally, the new model fits my chest just right." "Feels nice!" "The time has come." "All hands go to Level 1 battle stations." "Prepare for surface-to-air interception." "Status of the target?" "Currently advancing." "It just crossed the Old Odawara defense line." "We don't usually feel the shockwaves here." "Sector 4 has been hit." "Damage unknown." "All armor plates have been breached!" "All 24 layers in a single shot..." "The destructive power of the 10th Angel far exceeds expectations." "Launch an all-out attack!" "Mobilize all units to intercept at the edge of the city!" "It's not much, but it'll buy us some time." "Eva Unit-02?" "!" "Who's piloting?" "Unknown." "We didn't give the order to launch." "Target intact." "Second attack wave had no effect." "That's fine." "Civilian protection is the number one priority." "Guided N2 missiles authorized for third attack wave." "There's no time for the Evas to intercept on the surface!" "Request reinforcement from the Europeans!" "Position Unit-02 inside the Geofront!" "Status of Unit-00?" "The left arm is still undergoing emergency treatment!" "The unit will be fit for launch presently!" "Once that's done, send it in as cover for Unit-02!" "It's too dangerous to be out there alone." "Roger." "Status of Unit-01?" "It's being configured for the dummy system." "Make it quick!" "All of the evacuees are moving into the Geofront." "They say it's the safest place in the world." "Target has entered the Geofront!" "Eva Unit-02 is engaging it in combat!" "Do we have communication with Unit-02?" "The link has been cut." "That means..." "So, whoever it is wants to go it alone." "Smells good..." "Even an Eva that smells like somebody else isn't too bad." "It's gonna breach the 5th Defense Line soon, and if I don't take it out in short order," "Headquarters is toast!" "This A.T. Field is really strong!" "I'm not accomplishing a thing here!" "Let's see how you like this!" "Point-blank attack!" "Oh-ho, you slippery bastard..." "Dummy system connections complete." "Initiate contact." "Yes, ma'am!" "What's happening?" "!" "The core unit is refusing the dummy!" "It's no use!" "Eva Unit-01 won't activate!" "It's refusing the dummy?" "Fuyutsuki..." "I'll leave things to you for a while." "I'm not gonna win at this rate..." "Alright!" "Let's give it a trial run." "We'll show you the power of an Eva that's abandoned its humanity." "Invert mode." "Secret code," ""The Beast"!" "Bear with it, Eva Unit-02..." "I'm suffering with you!" "To think the Eva had a function like this..." "The limiters are being released!" "Everything is outside norms!" "Unable to monitor the plug interior!" "But..." "The plug depth has probably reached negative values." "The pilot's even willing to break into the contamination zone." "No good!" "It's too dangerous!" "Nothing... ventured... nothing... gained!" "Despite shedding its humanity, and being specialized for combat, the Eva's second Beast configuration is losing the fight..." "This is as far as we can go." "Unit-00?" "Without even a rifle?" "!" "No!" "Rei!" "Stop!" "Rei!" "A.T. Field at maximum!" "Even if Ikari won't pilot anymore..." "I'll still give it everything I have!" "Because..." "One Eva alone can't break through that A.T. Field!" "Unit 02..." "One last mission..." "That's the last layer!" "Retreat, pilot of Unit 02." "Thank you..." "And Unit 00?" "This shelter has been designated an endangered area." "Please evacuate to a secure location." "I repeat..." "Ouch..." "That was a close one." "Ah?" "What are you doing here?" "I was wondering why were were short a Unit." "I..." "I've decided I don't want to pilot anymore." "So you're someone who can't decide whether to pilot Eva or not." "Well then I guess you'd better get out of here in a hurry." "Here, let me lend you a hand!" "I don't want to pilot, I don't want to pilot, I don't want to pilot..." "If you continue to be so hard on yourself," "You won't have any fun." "It shouldn't be possible for an Angel to eat an Eva!" "That's strange, now the target is giving off the same identification signal as Unit 00." "That means the self-defense mechanism won't be triggered if the Angel enters Central Dogma!" "It can get to Lilith easily now!" "It's fusing with Eva Unit 00 and absorbing the pilot." "Unless you want to die I suggest you run away, quickly!" "Did he leave?" "Direct blow to the third base!" "It's melted through our last layer of armor!" "No!" "The main shaft is exposed!" "Unit 01 still won't activate?" "The plug isn't in position." "The dummy system won't connect." "The reset function won't work!" "Try it again starting with step 308." "Beginning again from step 308." "Why..." "Why are you doing this to me, Yui?" "Please wait!" "Please..." "Please let me pilot Unit-01!" "Why are you here?" "Father!" "I am the pilot of Evangelion Unit-01..." "Shinji Ikari!" "Target has descended the first seven layers of Terminal Dogma!" "It's coming here!" "All noncombatants, evacuate!" "Eva Unit-01!" "Shinji-kun!" "Misato-san!" "Release all locks!" "Out of power?" "Eva-01 has reached the active time limit!" "The reserves are depleted!" "Shinji-kun!" "Shinji-kun!" "Give..." "Ayanami... back!" "It's starting up, even though it should be at its active limit..." "It's gone berserk...?" "I don't know..." "I have no idea what is happening to Eva-01" "An Eva with this kind of power..." "This Eva is beyond our ability to control." "Plug depth: over 180!" "Any further increase is dangerous!" "Shinji, stop!" "You won't be able to return to human form!" "I don't care what happens to the world." "I don't care what happens to me." "But Ayanami, at least... at least I will save her!" "Go, Shinji-kun!" "Misato?" "!" "Not for anyone else, but for yourself!" "For what you want!" "Ayanami, where are you?" "It's useless, Ikari-kun." "I can't live anywhere but here." "Ayanami?" "!" "It's alright." "Even if I die, I can be replaced." "No!" "No Ayanami exists except for you!" "I'm going to save you!" "No... ego barrier is disappearing." "Unable to analyze!" "Eva is returning to its original form, no longer confined by man." "Eva has thrown off the curse we had placed on her, and is becoming a superhuman being close to God." "She is transforming into an energy-condenser, spinning all of Heaven and Earth, all living creatures into her giant swell." "Purely to grant the wishes of man, only for that purpose." "Ayanami!" "Ayanami!" "Ayanami!" "Come on!" "Triggering Unit-01 before all are present..." "Commander Ikari, Seele won't keep quiet about this." "As we anticipated, thanks to those two the awakening of Unit-01 is complete." "Indeed... and soon our plan will be realized." "Ayanami, about my father..." "Thank you." "I'm sorry I couldn't do anything." "It doesn't matter." "It's alright like this." "Ah, I see." "He saved us just in the nick of time." "I knew he smelled different." "This is the birth of a new lifeform that transcends all reason, at the cost of destroying the life that came before." "Wings..." "Just like 15 years ago." "Yes..." "Third Impact will begin, picking up where Second Impact left off." "The world is going to end." "What on Earth...?" "!" "Now then, the promised time has come, Ikari Shinji-kun." "This time I will, at least, make you happy." "To be continued..." "PREVIEW" "The frozen Unit-01 with Rei and Shinji still absorbed." "The fortress city abandoned." "Nerv personnel held in confinement." "Eva Unit-06 is dropped down to Dogma." "The quickening Eva Unit-08 and its pilot." "And the children chosen by fate finally assemble." "How long will this tale of people wanting to survive continue?" "Next time, Evangelion New Movie Edition:" "Q Quickening" "And there will be plenty more fan service!"
