"As of 01:12:30 PM today, a special state of emergency has been declared for the Kanto and Chubu regions surrounding the Tokai district." "All residents must evacuate to their designated shelters immediately." "Repeating:" "As of 01:12:30 PM today, the Kanto and Chubu regions surrounding the Tokai district have been declared to be under a state of emergency." "All residents must evacuate to their designated shelters immediately." "Why did I have to lose him now?" "Christ, why at a time like this?" "Due to the special emergency, all lines are currently unavailable." "It's no use." "I shouldn't have come here after all." "Well, I guess we won't be meeting here." "I'll have to go to a shelter." "The unidentified object is coming toward us." "We've got it on visual." "I'm putting it on the main screen." "It's been fifteen years, hasn't it?" "Yes." "Well, now we're sure." "It's the Angels." "Every missile hit the target!" "I'm sorry!" "Were you waiting long?" "The target is still operational." "It's still heading towards Tokyo 3." "The Air Defense Force doesn't have the firepower to stop it!" "Hit it with everything we've got!" "Mobilize all the units from Atsugi and scramble the squadrons from lruma!" "Forget about the budget!" "Destroy the target at any cost!" "Why?" "!" "That was a direct hit!" "The tank battalion's been annihilated." "Guided missiles and artillery have no effect either." "Damn it!" "We gave it everything we've got and we're not even touching it!" "Is it protected by an AT field?" "Yes." "Conventional weapons are no match for the Angels." "Yes Sir, I understand." "We'll execute the plan at once." "Hey, wait a second." "They're going to use an N2-mine?" "!" "Get down!" "We did it!" "Sorry, but it looks like you won't be getting a shot at it." "Shock wave approaching." "Are you all right?" "Yeah, but my mouth is full of dirt." "Yeah, but my mouth is full of dirt." "That's okay." "Now then, let's go!" "Push!" "There." "Thanks for the hand. I really appreciate it." "Thank you too, Miss Katsuragi." "Just Misato is fine." "I'm glad we've met at last, Shinji Ikari." "Yeah..." "What's the target's status?" "We're unable to confirm due to all the EMP interference." "It must have been finished." "You saw the size of that explosion." "Sensors restored." "We've got an energy reading at the explosion's epicenter!" "It can't be!" "Visual display restored." "Visual display restored." "That was our last resort." "No effect, I can't believe it!" "It's a God-damned demon!" "Yes." "Don't worry about it." "His safety is my top priority, so could you get a car train ready for us?" "The express one." "Right." "Well, I volunteered to pick him up, so it's my duty to make sure he gets there." "See ya!" "Damn it!" "I just had my car restored and it's a total wreck already!" "33 more loan payments to go, plus the cost of repairs." "And look!" "My only decent dress has been ruined!" "Miss Misato..." "And I was looking and feeling so nice." "And I was looking and feeling so nice." "Excuse me, Misato?" "Excuse me, Misato?" "What?" "Are you sure you can just take those?" "Never mind about that!" "It's an emergency, and we need a working car right now, right?" "And I am a government official, after all, so everything's going to be perfectly fine, okay?" "I don't think anyone will buy that." "Don't get so snotty." "You're not as cute as I thought you were." "You think so?" "Oh, did I upset you?" "Oh, did I upset you?" "Sorry, sorry!" "You're just a kid, after all." "So are you." "You're not as mature as I thought you were." "As we predicted, it's regenerating itself." "If it couldn't, it wouldn't be a practical autonomous invasion weapon." "lmpressive." "It appears it can even upgrade its own operational functions." "And it's also getting smarter." "It will renew its assault any minute now." "The gates are now closing." "Please stand clear." "The gates are now closing." "Please stand clear." "Yes, it's a secret organization under the control of the United Nations." "Yes, it's a secret organization under the control of the United Nations." "Yes, it's a secret organization under the control of the United Nations." "This is a B-22 Special Express departing for G33-1." "This is a B-22 Special Express departing for G33-1." "This train will bypass all other stations." "Please stand back." "My teachers told me it was important to the safety of the human race." "From this point on, command of the operation will be entrusted to you." "Show us that you're capable." "Yes, Sir." "Mr. lkari, we must admit that our weapons have no effect on the target." "Mr. lkari, we must admit that our weapons have no effect on the target." "But are you sure you can beat these things?" "It's what NERV was created for." "We're all praying that you're correct." "The target is still stationary." "Our current ability to intercept is only 7.5%." "Even the UN forces are exhausted." "What are you going to do?" "I intend to activate Unit 01." "Unit 01?" "But we have no pilot." "That's not a problem." "Another spare will be delivered soon." "Are you taking me to my father?" "Yes." "Yes, I think so." "Father..." "Oh, yes." "Didn't you get an id card from your dad?" "Yes." "This is it." "Thanks." "Thanks." "Here, read this." "NERV..." "My father's agency." "Am I going to work for him?" "Of course." "He wouldn't have sent me a letter unless he needed me for something." "It looks like you don't get along with your dad." "It's the same with me." "Awesome!" "It's a real Geo-Front!" "That's right." "This is our secret base:" "NERV Headquarters." "This is the key to rebuilding our world." "A fortress for all Mankind." "What on Earth?" "lsn't this the right way?" "Central Dogma's closed passages remain sealed." "This is why I hate wearing skirts here." "Opening block B-26 in sequence." "Opening block B-26 in sequence." "And where in the heck is Ritsuko?" "I'm sorry." "I'm just not used to this place yet." "We passed this spot just a little while ago." "Don't worry about it." "And anyway, they make these systems to be used, you know." "Would the chairperson of E Project, Technical Department Division 1," "Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, contact Captain Misato Katsuragi of Operations, Division 1, immediately." "I don't believe it." "Has she gotten lost again?" "Hiya, Ritsuko." "Why are you wasting my time, Captain Katsuragi?" "Aren't you aware that we're short on both time and manpower?" "Sorry!" "Is this the boy?" "Right." "According to the Marduk report, he's the Third Child." "I'm glad to meet you." "I'm glad to meet you." "Sure." "He's just like his dad." "The unfriendly part, that is." "Handle the rest of this." "Their first meeting in over three years." "Vice Commander, the target has started moving again." "Right." "Assume battle stations, Level One." "Repeat." "Battle stations, Level One." "Prepare for ground-unit interception." "Here we go." "It sounds pretty serious." "It sounds pretty serious." "So, how's Unit 01 doing?" "It's currently undergoing refrigeration, using the B-type equipment." "Does it really work?" "It's never worked before, has it?" "The possibility of activation is 0.000000001%." "We call it, pathetically enough, the O-9 System." "Does that mean it doesn't work?" "Oh, don't be insulting." "It's "O," not "zero."" "Well, it's just a number." "Anyway, it's a bit too late to be saying, "Sorry, it didn't work"." "It's so dark." "A face?" "A giant robot?" "You won't find this in the manual." "This is Man's ultimate humanoid fighting machine, the first model of the synthetic life form Evangelion, Unit 01." "Built here in secret, it is Mankind's last hope." "Is this part of what my father's been doing?" "Correct." "It's been a while." "Father..." "We're moving out." "Moving out?" "!" "Unit 00's still in cryo-stasis, isn't it?" "Moving out?" "!" "Unit 00's still in cryo-stasis, isn't it?" "Wait a second." "You're going to use Unit 01?" "There's no other way." "Now wait, Rei can't do it yet, can she?" "We've got no pilot!" "One's just been delivered." "Are you serious?" "Shinji Ikari..." "Shinji Ikari..." "Yes?" "You will pilot it." "You will pilot it." "But even Rei Ayanami took seven months to synchronize with her Eva." "It's impossible for him to do it!" "He just got here!" "He just has to sit in the seat." "We don't expect more than that." "But..." "Repelling that Angel is our ultimate priority." "Repelling that Angel is our ultimate priority." "If putting someone who has a chance of synchronizing into an Eva unit gives us even the slightest chance, then we have to do it." "You do understand that, don't you, Captain Katsuragi?" "I suppose..." "Father, why did you send for me?" "You know exactly why." "So, you're asking me to take this thing and go out there and fight?" "Precisely." "No way!" "How can you do something like this to me?" "No way!" "How can you do something like this to me?" "I knew you didn't want me!" "I called you because I have a need for you." "Why me?" "Because no one else can." "No, I can't..." "I've never even seen anything like this before!" "I can't do this!" "You will be instructed." "But there's no way!" "I can't pilot it!" "If you're going to pilot it, do it now and quickly." "If not, then leave!" "It must have detected our location." "Shinji, we don't have any time." "Get into it." "No!" "I didn't come for this!" "This is all wrong!" "Shinji, just why did you come here?" "You must confront your father and you must confront yourself." "I know it!" "But I just can't!" "Fuyutsuki..." "Wake up Rei." "Can we use her?" "Can we use her?" "She isn't dead." "I understand." "Rei..." "Yes?" "Yes?" "Our spare is unusable." "You will do it again." "Our spare is unusable." "You will do it again." "Yes, Sir." "Reconfigure Unit 01's system to Rei, then re-activate!" "Roger." "Call off the present work, and begin re-activation." "I knew it." "I'm not needed after all." "Watch out!" "The Eva moved!" "How could it?" "!" "How could it?" "!" "It broke off the right arm-restraint!" "It broke off the right arm-restraint!" "No, that's impossible!" "It didn't have an entry plug inserted!" "It's not possible!" "It reacted without any interface?" "!" "Or was it protecting something?" "It protected him?" "We can do it." "I mustn't run away." "I mustn't run away." "I mustn't run away." "I mustn't run away." "I MUSTN'T RUN AWAY!" "Let me do it." "I'll pilot it." "Cooling process, completed." "Right arm repairs, completed." "Right arm repairs, completed." "Cage now in position for docking." "Signal plug terminator has been ejected." "Roger. inserting entry plug." "Plug fixed in place." "Connecting Unit 01." "Filling the entry plug." "What is this stuff?" "Don't worry." "Once your lungs are filled with LCL, your blood will be oxygenated directly." "You'll get used to it." "I feel nauseous." "Stop whining!" "You're a boy, aren't you?" "!" "Connecting main power." "All circuits transmitting power." "All circuits transmitting power." "Roger." "Connecting secondary contacts." "A-10 nerve connection, normal." "Configure the language logic interface for Japanese." "All preliminary contacts established." "Performance nominal." "Bi-directional circuits are open." "Synchronization ratio at 41.3%" "Amazing." "Harmonics are all normal." "No disturbances identified." "Harmonics are all normal." "No disturbances identified." "We can do it." "Prepare to launch!" "Prepare to launch!" "Disengage primary lock bolts!" "Disengage confirmed." "Disengaging the umbilical bridge." "Disengage secondary lock bolts." "Disengage primary restraints." "Disengage secondary restraints." "Release safety locks numbers one through fifteen." "lnternal batteries fully charged." "External battery outlet, normal." "Roger." "Move Eva Unit 01 to the ejector pad." "Launch path is clear." "All systems green." "Ready for launch." "Roger." "Can we really do this?" "Can we really do this?" "Of course." "Unless we defeat the Angels, we have no future." "Ikari, are you sure about this?" "Launch!" "Shinji, don't get killed out there." "Eva triumphs over the Angel!" "However, this is just the beginning." "Misato decided to save Shinji who ran away from his father's place, insisting that he not be left alone." "But that was simply arrogance." "That night, Shinji closed his mind." "Next Evangelion:" ""Unfamiliar Ceiling"" "I'll make you a bargain next time, too!" "Are you ready, Shinji?" "Yes." "Release the final safety lock!" "Release the final safety lock!" "Evangelion Unit 01, lift off!" "Shinji, just concentrate on walking right now." "Walk..." "It walked!" "Walk..." "Shinji, are you okay?" "Hurry!" "Get up!" "Shinji, calm down!" "That's not your arm!" "What's going on with the Eva's defense system?" "The signal's not working!" "The field's not unfolding!" "Have we failed?" "Left arm damaged!" "The circuits have snapped!" "The circuits have snapped!" "Shinji, dodge!" "There's a crack on the front of the brain case!" "The armor won't last much longer!" "The head's been damaged!" "Extent of damage, unknown!" "The control nerves are breaking off!" "We're not getting any readings on the pilot!" "Shinji!" "This ceiling is unfamiliar." "So, the Angels have returned?" "It's so sudden." "It's the same as it was fifteen years ago." "A disaster comes as it will, without warning." "On the positive side, our previous investments will not go to waste." "You can't be sure about that yet." "If it doesn't pay off, it's a waste all the same." "Correct." "Now that the Angels have become common knowledge, we have to manipulate the information to avoid trouble." "NERV must take care of these matters quickly." "It's already been taken care of." "You may rest assure of that." "In regards to the declaration of the state of emergency, government officials have announced... government officials have announced..." "This incident was..." "This incident was..." "UN forces in Japan..." "Public scenario B-22, as we thought." "UN forces in Japan..." "In response to reporters' questions..." "In response to reporters' questions..." "No, there's no threat of contamination from the center of the explosion." "No, there's no threat of contamination from the center of the explosion." "No, there's no threat of contamination from the center of the explosion." "The only Angel samples collected were adhered to the Eva." "The only Angel samples collected were adhered to the Eva." "The only Angel samples collected were adhered to the Eva." "Correct, as in the model simulation, approximately 99.9% of it evaporated." "Correct, as in the model simulation, approximately 99.9% of it evaporated." "Correct, as in the model simulation, approximately 99.9% of it evaporated." "Of course we are." "Well, we must acknowledge that." "Speaking of which, Mr. lkari, isn't there a better way to utilize NERV and Eva?" "We're referring to the repair costs for Unit 01, which when added to the costs for Unit 00, are enough to bankrupt an entire country." "We also understand that you gave that particular toy to your son, didn't you?" "Manpower, time and money." "How much more will be wasted by you and your family?" "And that is not your only responsibility." "The Human Enhancement Project, that should be your top priority." "Yes, in these desperate circumstances that project is our only hope." "Do you understand?" "In any case, the Angel is no excuse for delaying that project's schedule." "However, we will consider adjusting the budget." "Now, the rest of this meeting concerns only us." "Your presence here was appreciated, Mr. lkari." "Ikari, you do understand there can be no turning back, don't you?" "I know." "Mankind has no time left." "Air conditioning has just got to be mankind's greatest treasure." "It's the triumph of science over nature." "Shinji's woken up." "How is he?" "No external injuries." "His memory is a bit muddled, however." "You don't think it could be brain damage?" "The doctor said that there was nothing to worry about." "Really?" "I suppose he did have a pretty hectic day." "His cranial nerves must have taken a lot of strain." "Don't you mean his heart?" "Okay, go on." "Yeah, that way." "Stop." "If Eva and this city both operate at their full potential, maybe we can make it through this." "Are you going to defeat the Angels?" "You're always such an optimist." "Sometimes you need a little wishful thinking just to keep on living." "I see your point." "Your attitude makes me feel a little more at ease." "See ya!" "Dr. Ugai of lnternal Department One, Dr. Ugai," "Dr. Ugai of lnternal Department One, Dr. Ugai, please call Dr. Azuma of the First Surgical Department immediately." "The medical conference on the B Experiment will be held as scheduled." "All supervisors please proceed to conference room two." "Are you sure?" "They don't want to live together?" "I think that living apart is natural for lkari and his son." "And being together is unnatural?" "Alone?" "Right." "His room will be in the Sixth Block, just beyond this one." "Is that satisfactory?" "Is that satisfactory?" "Yes." "Are you sure?" "Shinji..." "It's fine." "Being alone is okay with me." "I'm alone anyway." "What?" "!" "So, I said, I'll take care of Shinji." "So, I said, I'll take care of Shinji." "I've already got permission from the brass." "Hey, it's not like I'm going to "put the moves" on him." "Of course you're not!" "How could you even think of such a thing?" "You're always like that." "Shame on you!" "You're always like that." "Shame on you!" "Well, we'll have to have a party tonight, right?" "What for?" "What for?" "A welcoming party for my new roommate, of course!" "What for?" "A welcoming party for my new roommate, of course!" "So, you're going to move after all?" "Yes." "I'd never have dreamt that this city would become a battlefield." "Yeah." "My husband's saying that our kid and I should move, at the very least." "Don't I know it." "This city may be a fortress, but that's no guarantee of safety." "Just remembering it gives me the chills." "Really." "I hope you don't mind if we make a little stop on the way." "Where?" "Someplace really cool." "So desolate." "This city seems so lonely." "It's time." "Amazing!" "The buildings are growing!" "This city is a fortress, designed to protect against the Angels." "This is Tokyo 3." "This is our city." "And it's the city that you saved." "Your things should have already been delivered, Shinji." "I just moved into this apartment too." "Come on in." "Pardon the intrusion." "Shinji, this is your home now." "I'm home." "Welcome home." "As you can see, the place is a little bit messy." "Make yourself comfortable." "You call this a "little bit" messy?" "Oh!" "Sorry!" "Could you put the food in the fridge?" "Sure." "Ice, snacks and tons of beer." "What kind of a life does she lead?" "Excuse me." "What's in the other fridge?" "Oh, don't mind that." "He's probably still sleeping!" "Sleeping?" "Let's eat!" "Let's eat." "Life just doesn't get any better than this!" "Don't you want to eat?" "It's good, even if it is all instant." "I'm sorry, I'm just not used to it." "That's no excuse!" "You can't be so finicky." "No, that's not what I... well..." "Isn't this nice?" "Having two for dinner instead of eating alone!" "Yeah..." "Here we go for the next one." "Paper, stone and scissors..." "Pon!" "Pon!" "Pon!" "Pon!" "Sorry, Shinji." "Okay!" "That was a pretty fair way of splitting our daily chores, right?" "Yeah." "This is your home now, so make yourself comfortable," "This is your home now, so make yourself comfortable, and take advantage of everything here, except me." "Yes." "Man, yes, yes, yes." "Is that all you say?" "It's getting on my nerves." "Man, yes, yes, yes." "Is that all you say?" "It's getting on my nerves." "You're a boy, aren't you?" "Act like a man!" "Okay?" "Yes." "Okay, that's just the way you are." "Well, why don't you go take a bath and scrub away those bad memories." "Bathing cleanses both the mind and soul." "Miss Misato!" "What?" "What?" "A p... p... p..." "What?" "Oh, him?" "He's one of those new warm water penguins." "What was that?" "His name is Pen-pen." "He's your other roommate." "His name is Pen-pen." "He's your other roommate." "Why don't you cover that up?" "I guess I'm not being as nice as I ought to." "Of course, he's probably already made up his mind about me." "Misato Katsuragi." "She's not a bad person." "Bathing cleanses both the mind and soul." "But bad memories always seem to find me when I'm in the bath." "Like my father and Rei Ayanami." "So, how was Rei today?" "You did see her at the hospital this afternoon, didn't you?" "She'll be ready to work again in twenty days." "By then, we'll be ready to re-activate Unit 00 from cryo-stasis." "It's so hard on these poor children." "There is no one else who can pilot the Evas." "As long as they survive, that is what I'll have them do." "With no regard to what they may want?" "Yeah, after all the horrible stuff he went through," "I doubt that he'll pilot it again." "Maintaining him is part of your job, Misato." "I'm just scared." "I don't know how to deal with him." "Grumbling already?" "It was your idea to take him in, you know." "Shut up!" "I was just thinking of Shinji as a tool." "I'm as shameless as Ritsuko." "We destroyed the Angel." "So, why can't I be happy about it?" "Another unfamiliar ceiling." "Of course." "In this whole city, there's no place that's familiar." "This is your home." "Why am I here?" "The brain case has been damaged!" "Extent of damage unknown!" "We're having problems maintaining activation!" "Status report!" "The synchrograph is reversing!" "The pulses are flowing backward!" "The synchrograph is reversing!" "The pulses are flowing backward!" "Break the circuit!" "Block it!" "We can't!" "It's not accepting the signal!" "It won't take it!" "What about Shinji?" "His monitors aren't responding." "His condition's unknown!" "His monitors aren't responding." "His condition's unknown!" "Unit 01's gone completely silent!" "Misato!" "We've got to stop this." "Abort the operation!" "Rescuing the pilot is our first priority!" "Eject the entry plug!" "We can't!" "It's completely out of control!" "No way!" "The Eva's re-activating!" "lmpossible!" "How could this happen?" "!" "lmpossible!" "How could this happen?" "!" "lmpossible!" "A berserker?" "!" "A berserker?" "!" "It looks like we've won." "An AT field!" "No!" "As long as the Angel has that AT field up..." "He can't get near the Angel!" "The left arm has been regenerated!" "The left arm has been regenerated!" "Incredible!" "Unit 01's expanding an AT field of its own!" "It's neutralizing the phase space!" "No, not neutralizing, it's eroding it!" "Unbelievable!" "It went through that AT field so easily." "No!" "It's going to self-destruct!" "Is the Eva..." "That must be the Eva's true form." "Circuits reconnected." "Systems restored." "Graphs back to normal." "Pilot life signs, confirmed." "Send out the recovery team." "Hurry!" "Preserving the pilot's life is our first priority." "Shinji, can I come in?" "I forgot to tell you something." "You did a very good thing today." "You should be proud of yourself." "Good night, Shinji." "Hang in there." "Training as Eva pilot, and a new life with Misato." "Shinji, who passes his life without liking himself, would surely never have a friend." "But when it's revealed that he's a pilot, he becomes a hero." "Shinji becomes embarrassed, and one boy bullies him." "Next Evangelion:" ""The Phone That Never Rings"" "I'll give you something special again!" "Good morning, Shinji." "How's it going?" "No problems." "I'm getting used to it." "That's good." "Have you memorized the positions of all the Eva emergence points, emergency power junctions, armament equipment sites and recovery zones?" "I guess so." "Well, let's review it now." "Well, let's review it now." "Normally the Eva runs off electricity provided by an umbilical cable." "In emergencies, it can switch to a built-in battery, with an active life of one minute at full power, and no more than five minutes in the minimal activity gain mode." "This is due to our current limits in battery capacity technology." "Do you understand?" "Do you understand?" "Yes." "Now let's continue from where we left off yesterday. initiate lnduction Mode." "Now let's continue from where we left off yesterday. initiate lnduction Mode." "Position the target in the center, then switch "on"." "Take it easy." "Position the target in the center." "Then pull the switch." "Next!" "You know, I wonder why Shinji agreed to be a pilot after what happened?" "It would seem that he simply does what he's told to do." "I suppose that's just his way of getting through life." "Target in the center, pull the switch." "Target in the center, pull the switch." "Target in the center, pull the switch." "Target in the center, pull the switch." "Target in the center..." "Miss Misato, it's morning already." "I just got back from night duty." "I don't have to go to work until this evening, so please, let me sleep." "I see." "I'll go." "Hey, isn't today Thursday?" "Take the burnable trash to the garbage, please." "Yes, Ma'am." "So, how's school?" "Fine." "Oh, okay." "Take care." "I'll see you later." "Yes?" "Hello?" "Oh, it's you, Ritsuko." "How's it going?" "Are you getting along with him?" "Him?" "Oh, Shinji." "Well, he transferred into school two weeks ago and he hasn't changed." "No one ever calls him." "Calls him?" "Well, since I figured he'd be needing one, I gave him a cellular phone." "Well, since I figured he'd be needing one, I gave him a cellular phone." "I don't think he's ever used it though, or received any calls." "I'm not sure, but I don't think he has any friends." "Well, I would guess that Shinji's not the sort who makes friends easily." "Do you know the fable of the Hedgehog's Dilemma?" "Hedgehog?" "You mean those animals with the spiny hair?" "Even though a hedgehog may wish to become close with another hedgehog, the closer they get, the more they injure each other with their spines." "It's the same with some humans." "The reason he seems so withdrawn is because he's afraid of being hurt." "Well, he's going to have to learn someday that part of growing up means finding a way to interact with others while distancing pain." "What's up, class rep?" "Did you give him the printout I gave you yesterday?" "What?" "Well..." "Well, there wasn't anybody home at Toji's place." "Mr. Aida, aren't you Mr. Suzuhara's friend?" "Aren't you worried about him?" "Do you suppose he's injured?" "What?" "In that robot incident?" "!" "The television report said that nobody was injured!" "No way, you saw where the explosion was on Mount Takanosu, didn't you?" "There were fighters scrambled from lruma and Komatsu, and there were also troops from Misawa and Kyushu." "I'll bet at least ten or twenty people were injured, and there had to be some killed, too." "Toji!" "Suzuhara!" "Suzuhara!" "Wow, has the class population dropped or what?" "They've all been evacuated or transferred to other schools." "After all, no one wants to stay after that last battle inside the city." "Yeah, you're probably the only one who's actually enjoying the chance to see a real war." "Yeah, I am." "And speaking of which, where have you been, Toji?" "Why were you absent so long?" "Did you get involved in the war?" "My little sister did." "She was crushed under a pile of debris." "She survived but she's been in the hospital ever since." "Both my dad and grand-dad are working at the lab, and there's no way they can leave their posts." "So, if I'm not with her, she's all alone." "That robot's pilot was really dumb!" "It makes me so angry!" "How could he wreck our own city?" "What was he doing?" "About the pilot, have you heard the rumor about the new transfer student?" "What transfer student?" "Him, over there." "He transferred here while you were absent." "He came right after the incident." "Don't you think that's odd?" "All rise!" "And so, humankind was about to face its greatest trial." "In the last year of the 20th century, a massive meteor from space slammed into the Antarctic continent." "The continent's ice cap was melted almost instantaneously." "The water level of the oceans increased dramatically, the Earth was thrown off its axis, and new, devastatingly abnormal, weather patterns were spawned." "The lives of all living things on the planet were threatened." "Several thousand species and half of the world's human population were lost in the immediate aftermath." "That was the so-called "Second Impact"." "The survivors still had to live through the hell of worldwide economic collapse, ethnic conflicts, and civil wars." "However, it has been fifteen years since then." "In only fifteen years, we have restored ourselves." "This is certainly proof of the human race's resilience, but even more so, it is the fruit of the blood, sweat and tears your fathers and mothers have dedicated to this cause." "What?" "!" "Really?" "!" "Oh, wow!" "Cool!" "Really, the new student was?" "Hey, you guys!" "We're still in class, you know!" "Sit down now!" "Aw, you're always so bossy!" "Hey, come on!" "Forget her!" "Hey, come on!" "Forget her!" "Now cut that out!" "Now cut that out!" "Cool, it's awesome!" "Well..." "Hey, how were you chosen?" "Hey, how were you chosen?" "Were there any tests?" "Weren't you scared?" "Weren't you scared?" "What's the cockpit look like?" "What's the cockpit look like?" "Well, I'm not supposed to talk about secret stuff." "Oh, come on!" "Don't be mean!" "Hey, what's the name of the robot?" "I don't know much, but everyone calls it Eva or Unit 01." "Eva?" "And what's its ultimate attack mode?" "And what's its ultimate attack mode?" "And what's its ultimate attack mode?" "Some kind of vibrating knife." "An ultra-sonic wave." "That's amazing!" "We're so proud of you!" "Yeah, right!" "Cool!" "Yeah." "And thus..." "Oh..." "That's all for today." "That's all for today." "Ikari, where do you live?" "In the older part of the city?" "Hey, you guys, why don't you at least show some manners at the end?" "Hey, you guys, why don't you at least show some manners at the end?" "Sorry, newcomer, but I've got to beat you up!" "I've got to work off my anger." "Sorry, his sister was injured because of the incident." "That's his excuse, anyway." "I didn't pilot it by choice." "We've got an emergency call." "I'll go." "A special state of emergency has been declared for the Kanto and Chubu regions surrounding the Tokai district." "All residents must evacuate to their designated shelters immediately." "Repeating: a state of emergency has been declared..." "The target has been sighted by our cameras." "It's already penetrated into our territorial waters." "Assume battle stations, level one." "Roger, prepare for anti-aircraft interception." "Tokyo 3 transforming to battle formation." "lnitiate accommodation of the central block." "Accommodation of central block and the first through seventh districts has been completed." "Notification of the government and other related ministries, completed." "Present effective rate of anti-aircraft interception: 48%." "What's the status of noncombatants and civilians?" "We've already received reports that the evacuation has been completed." "Attention elementary school and junior high school students." "Please form groups with your individual classes." "Area residents, please group according to your block numbers." "Not again!" "Just text messages again?" "Just text messages again?" "It's news censorship." "They won't show any of it to us civilians." "Even though it's an incredible event." "The fourth Angel would show up while Commander Ikari is away." "It's a lot sooner than we expected." "The last time they gave us a fifteen year break." "This time it's been only three weeks." "They never care about our situation, do they?" "They're the type we women hate the most." "It's a waste of the taxpayers' money." "The committee is demanding that we dispatch an Evangelion again." "Oh, they get on my nerves." "If they hadn't asked for it, I'd have mobilized it anyway." "Entry procedure initiated." "LCL oxygenated." "Releasing airlock." "Why am I piloting this thing again, even though my father's not here?" "Even though I got beat up?" "Hey, I need to talk to you, privately, you know?" "What for?" "Just give me a second, okay?" "Just give me a second, okay?" "Well, okay." "Class rep!" "What?" "We've both have to go to the bathroom!" "We've both have to go to the bathroom!" "You were supposed to use the bathroom before you came here." "So, what's this about?" "I've got to see it, at least once in my life." "You mean the battle up there?" "Nobody knows when the enemy will come the next time." "Nobody knows when the enemy will come the next time." "Kensuke, are you serious?" "If we let this opportunity escape us, we may lose it forever!" "Please, help me unlock the gate." "But you could get killed if you go out there." "If we stay here in the shelter, who's to say that the risk isn't the same?" "If I could be killed anyway, I'd rather see it first." "You idiot." "What do you think NERV's for?" "And what is NERV's most important weapon?" "It's the robot the new kid pilots." "He protected us the other day, but you hit him pretty hard." "Twice!" "If he refuses to fight, we're all going to die." "Doesn't that make it your obligation to watch him fight?" "Okay, you're not leaving me any options!" "You'll do anything to get what you want, won't you?" "Shinji, are you ready?" "Yes." "First, neutralize the enemy's AT field, then fire a volley." "First, neutralize the enemy's AT field, then fire a volley." "Do it just like we practiced." "Can you handle that?" "Yes." "Launch!" "Launch!" "Cool!" "All my efforts really paid off!" "I've been waiting for this all my life!" "Oh!" "This is it!" "There it is!" "Target in the center, pull the switch." "Target in the center, pull the switch." "Right." "You idiot!" "You hid the enemy with your own smoke!" "I can't believe it!" "He's already losing!" "Not a problem." "I'm sending you a spare rifle." "I'm sending you a spare rifle." "Take it!" "Shinji?" "Hey, Shinji?" "Jeez..." "Being beaten up must have really messed him up." "Shut up!" "The umbilical cable's been snapped off!" "Eva has switched to its internal battery power source." "4 minutes, 53 seconds of activation remaining." "It's coming this way!" "Shinji, are you all right?" "Shinji!" "Damage report?" "No problems detected." "He can make it." "No problems detected." "He can make it." "Shinji's classmates?" "What are they doing there?" "Why won't he fight?" "Because we're here?" "He can't move because of us!" "Activation time remaining:" "3 minutes 28 seconds." "Shinji, let them into the cockpit!" "Once you've got them, retreat." "We'll start again later!" "Do you think unauthorized civilians can be allowed into the entry plug?" "!" "I'm authorizing it." "You're exceeding your authority, Captain Katsuragi!" "You're exceeding your authority, Captain Katsuragi!" "Unit 01's remaining activation time:" "3 minutes." "Hold Eva on your current commands and eject the entry plug." "Hurry up!" "You two!" "Get in!" "Now!" "What the..." "It's water?" "My camera!" "My camera!" "Abnormal conditions occurring in the nervous system." "Of course." "It's because you've allowed two foreign bodies into the matrix!" "They're being detected as noise in the nerve impulse systems!" "Retreat!" "Now!" "Utilize recovery route 34, retreat to the east side of the mountain." "Hey, new kid, she said, "Retreat!"" "I mustn't run away." "I mustn't run away!" "I mustn't run away!" "Progressive Knife engaged!" "Obey my orders, Shinji!" "You've got to retreat!" "Shinji!" "That idiot..." "Unit 01, activation time remaining:" "30 seconds!" "28... 27... 26... 25..." "14... 13... 12... 1 1... 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..." "Eva Unit 01, activation ceased." "The target is completely silent." "It's been three days." "You mean, since we were chewed out?" "No, since he stopped coming to school." "Who's "he"?" "The new kid, of course." "The new kid, of course." "I wonder what he's been doing since then?" "Are you worried about him?" "No, not exactly worried." "Toji, for someone who's so tactless, you're pretty stubborn." "If you had apologized to him back then, you wouldn't have had to agonize over it for three days." "Here, this is the new kid's phone number." "If you're so worried, why don't you call him?" "As the dreary rain pours down," "Shinji, overwhelmed and unable to overcome his weaknesses, tries to run away from Misato." "It's acceptable, however, considering that he's only fourteen." "The organization brings the aimlessly wandering Shinji back." "There are no kind words waiting to ease his feelings, except from the two boys." "Next Evangelion:" ""Rain, Escape and Afterwards"" "And of course, I'll give you lots of fan service next time too!" "Is he going to skip school again?" "Shinji, wake up!" "How long are you going to keep skipping school?" "It's been five days now." "Unit 01 has already been completely repaired." "You're the pilot." "Are you going to just leave it like that?" "!" "Shinji?" "!" "He's run away." "That's not too surprising." "Shinji?" "Well..." "We're Shinji's classmates, Aida and Suzuhara, Ma'am." "Aida and Suzuhara?" "Yes, Ma'am!" "I'm Suzuhara." "I'm Suzuhara." "Aren't you the boys who got in Unit 01's entry plug?" "Yes, Ma'am!" "We're sorry for causing so much trouble." "We're sorry for causing so much trouble." "The reason we came here today is that lkari's been absent ever since then." "So, we came to see if he was okay." "Shinji?" "He's at the NERV training facility right now." "Oh, I see." "These are the printouts that were building up on Shinji's desk." "Oh, sorry for your trouble." "Thank you." "Well, we'll be leaving now." "Please say "hi" to Shinji for us." "Yeah, I will." "Bye." "This is an unexpected development." "She was a real babe, wasn't she?" "Shinji, you idiot!" "Jerk!" "The next station is Naga'o Toge, Naga'o Toge." "The exit will switch to the right side." "Thank you for using the Tokyo 3 Loop Line." "This train will be going out of service at this station." "Please, make sure you take all of your belongings as you exit the train." "I've got to go back." "Hey there!" "We're offering you a great bargain!" "Hot young babes serving heavenly refreshment!" "Special services to heal your tired body, services to fill you with energy!" "You really couldn't detect it, Doctor?" "!" "Yes." "An object only ten millimeters in diameter crashed into Antarctica at close to the speed of light." "The technology we had was unable to predict or prevent such a thing." "It's like hell out there!" "Just what is the purpose of science?" "!" "The atmospheric flux caused by the change in the Earth's axis has decreased by 3%." "So, it's getting a little better?" "No, there's still a tidal wave approaching at 230 meters a second!" "Doctor!" "We must evacuate!" "It's my duty to remain here." "Doctor, choosing death is easy, but you have an obligation to watch this living hell!" "ldiot." "He's only fourteen years old." "It seems so cruel, making him bear the burden of mankind's destiny." "We have no choice." "We have to use fourteen year olds to pilot the Evas." "I know." "So, has he called or made contact?" "So, has he called or made contact?" "Nothing?" "Nothing." "I don't think he's going to come back again." "What are you going to do?" "Nothing really." "If he's not going to come back, that's okay too." "Why?" "Because of what happened after that last battle." "Why did you ignore my order?" "I'm sorry." "I'm the one who's in charge of your operations, right?" "Yes." "You're supposed to obey my orders, you know!" "Do you understand?" "You're supposed to obey my orders, you know!" "Do you understand?" "Yes." "I'm warning you, never do it again." "I'm warning you, never do it again." "Yes." "Do you really understand what I'm saying?" "!" "Do you really understand what I'm saying?" "!" "Yes." "You're not going to get out of this by just saying yes to everything I say." "You're not going to get out of this by just saying yes to everything I say." "I know that." "That's enough, isn't it?" "We won the battle anyway." "Listen, it may seem easy to go along with whatever anyone else wants, but if you get into the Eva with that attitude, it'll kill you!" "I don't care." "It'd be nice if I could say you've got the right attitude, but if you expect to get any praise out of me, you're wrong, Shinji Ikari." "That's not the point." "In any case, I'm the only one who can pilot it, aren't I?" "I'll do it." "I see." "If piloting an Eva means nothing but pain to him, he shouldn't get into it again." "Otherwise, I'm sure he'll be killed." "Otherwise, I'm sure he'll be killed." "But we need pilots." "Captain!" "Aida, go on ahead!" "But I can't go and leave you behind!" "You fool!" "You fool!" "No!" "There!" "The new kid?" "Ikari!" "Toji was sorry about that." "He said that his kid sister scolded him and said that, "it was the robot who saved our lives!"" "That's pretty embarrassing, being chewed out by a second grader." "Right?" "I like it at night because those noisy cicadas don't chirp." "Although I remember that it was pretty quiet when I was a kid, there've been more of them each year." "The ecosystem is returning to its former state." "That's what Misato said." "I see, Misato said so." "I really envy you." "Living with such a beautiful woman and piloting the Evangelion." "Oh God, I wish I could get behind the controls just once!" "You shouldn't." "I think your mother would be worried." "Oh, don't worry about that." "I don't have one." "I'm the same as you." "You'll have something to eat, won't you?" "Yeah." "Do you usually do this sort of thing?" "Well, sure." "Is this some kind of training for guerilla warfare or something?" "How could I fight with toys like those?" "It's just for fun." "You're Shinji Ikari, aren't you?" "Yes." "We're from NERV Security Intelligence." "We're from NERV Security Intelligence." "Under Article 8 of the Security Act, we're taking you to NERV HQ." "All right?" "All right?" "Yes." "And all you did was stand there?" "That's easy for you to say!" "But it's like I said, they were NERV Security Intelligence, professionals." "So what?" "!" "Don't you have any balls at all?" "!" "Sissy!" "Sissy!" "Pervert!" "Only an idiot fights when he knows he can't win." "Only an idiot fights when he knows he can't win." "Balls have nothing to do with it." "Long time, no see." "Yes." "Do you feel any better after wandering around for two days?" "Do you feel any better after wandering around for two days?" "I don't know." "The Eva is on standby." "Will you pilot it?" "Or won't you?" "You're not going to scold me for running away?" "Of course not." "I'm not related to you, am I?" "If I say that I won't pilot Unit 01, what will you do with it?" "I suppose that Rei will do it." "Won't you pilot it?" "It seems unrealistic for you to force everything on her." "Don't worry." "I'll pilot it." "But you don't want to do it?" "Of course not." "To begin with, it's not something that comes to me naturally." "But Ayanami, Miss Misato and Miss Ritsuko..." "Cut that out!" "This has nothing to do with any of us!" "If you don't like it, get out of here!" "Just forget all about Eva and us and go back to where you came from!" "We don't need someone with that attitude piloting." "The Third Child is leaving Tokyo 3 tomorrow." "Then, we'll reconfigure Unit 01's system for Rei." "But..." "Regardless of the results of Unit 00's re-activation experiments," "Regardless of the results of Unit 00's re-activation experiments, we'll move on to experimenting with Unit 01." "According to the Marduk Organization's report, the Fourth Child hasn't been found yet." "That means we can't get any pilot recruits?" "Excuse me, where is Miss Misato?" "I'd like to say good-bye." "You're no longer NERV personnel." "Therefore, we can't give you any information." "Ikari!" "You left this stuff behind!" "You left this stuff behind!" "Could you excuse me for a moment?" "Thank you." "Hey, Toji." "Come on, say something!" "Ikari, I'm sorry I hit you twice." "Please, hit me back!" "I can't do that." "Please!" "Otherwise, I won't be satisfied." "See?" "He's a pretty embarrassing guy, isn't he?" "But if it'll put an end to this dispute, why don't you go ahead and hit him?" "But..." "Hurry up!" "You don't have much time, do you?" "Hurry up!" "You don't have much time, do you?" "Okay, but only once." "Okay!" "Come on!" "Hold it!" "Stop." "Don't hold back." "Right." "Ouch..." "How did you know I'd come here?" "It was just a hunch." "We've seen dozens of classmates off before." "If you're leaving, we'll have to leave this city sometime soon, but we can't blame you for that." "We saw how you suffered in the Eva." "And if anyone tries to blame you," "I'm gonna give them a head butt!" "Hey, don't look so gloomy." "Take care." "Take care." "Good luck!" "Good luck!" "Well..." "Your time is up." "I'm the one who deserves to be hit!" "I'm mean, cowardly, dishonest, weak, sneaky and a sissy." "Don't give us any more trouble." "He's gone." "Do you really think this is for the best?" "The Hedgehog's Dilemma." "The closer we become, the more deeply we hurt each other." "Now I understand." "That boy..." "He can't let others know how he feels in any other way." "The Express Linear Train, bound for Atsugi is arriving on Track 2." "For your safety, please step back to the area inside the yellow lines." "The train arriving on Track 2 is for special government use only and departs at 4:20 for Atsugi." "No civilians are allowed inside the fence." "Please be aware that the boarding of this train by unauthorized persons is strictly prohibited." "Hang in there." "Hey, look!" "Hey, it's that babe!" "The local train bound for Gora is now arriving on Track 4." "For your own safety, please stay inside the yellow lines." "If you're accompanying small children, please ensure that they are properly supervised." "The train arriving on Track 4 is the local shuttle to Gora departing at 4:32." "If this is your train, please step inside and wait until departure." "The train is now approaching." "Please stay behind the yellow line." "I..." "I'm home." "Welcome home." "Rei Ayanami limits her association with others as much as possible." "The only one she seems to open up to is Commander Ikari." "Shinji is at a loss to understand how this girl can be closer to his own father than he is." "But before he can settle his mind on this subject, a beam shot by the Fifth Angel melts Eva Unit 01 's chest!" "Shinji's scream reverberates in Misato's ears." "Next Evangelion:" ""Rei, Beyond Her Heart"" "Commence activation." "Connecting main power to all circuits." "Power supply connected." "Commencing activation system."

"She is the designated pilot for Evangelion Unit 00." "Her past has been eradicated." "All her personal records were erased." "So, what caused the accident during the last experiment?" "We still don't know." "However, we believe that mental instability on the part of the pilot was a primary cause." "Mental instability?" "In Rei?" "Yes, her mind became much more disturbed than we had anticipated." "So, what did happen?" "I don't know." "But she could have..." "Did something occur to you?" "No, that can't be it." "The demolition of block B-3 has been completed." "All technical department personnel are to submit their data to the analysis group." "So this is our enemy." "I see." "Everything except the core remains intact." "This is a perfect sample." "Thank you, this will help us a lot." "So, did you find anything new?" "What the heck is this?" "That's the code number for "cannot be analyzed"." "You mean, you don't know what this is?" "Correct." "We do know the Angel is composed of a type of matter characterized by both particulate and wave properties, like light." "But you've at least found its power source, haven't you?" "Something like that anyway." "But we haven't been able to figure out any of its operating principles." "We've found something completely outside our experience." "The world is filled with mysteries." "For example, take a look at this." "This is the Angel's inherent wave pattern." "What?" "Let me see." "Could this be..." "Yes." "Although they are composed of a different form of matter, their actual composition, in terms of the arrangement and spacing of the pattern, falls within a 99.89% match of humans." "Unbelievable, 99.89%." "We must acknowledge our limited level of understanding once again." "We must acknowledge our limited level of understanding once again." "We must acknowledge our limited level of understanding once again." "Okay!" "Keep going." "Stop." "This is the core?" "How's the rest of it?" "It's pretty deteriorated." "We can't expect to use it as a reference." "That's not a problem." "Dispose of the remnants." "Yes, Sir." "What's wrong?" "Well, nothing's wrong." "Are you aware that when you say "nothing" that way, it's the same as asking others to pay attention to you?" "Well, it's just that my father seems to have burned his hands." "Burned?" "I was just wondering how it happened." "Burns?" "Do you know anything about those burns?" "It was before you arrived at NERV." "Unit 00 went berserk during the activation experiments." "You've heard about that, right?" "Yes." "The pilot was trapped inside." "Ayanami was the pilot, wasn't she?" "It was Commander Ikari who rescued her." "He opened the super-heated hatch with his bare hands." "My father did that?" "That's how he burned his hands." "Go, Hideko!" "You lose!" "You've got to treat us to pizza if you lose!" "There, go for it!" "You won't make it!" "Now, let's sink a shot!" "Oh my gosh!" "Those guys are looking at us!" "Oh my gosh!" "Those guys are looking at us!" "Man, they've all got such incredible breasts." "Suzuhara's ogling us!" "Gross!" "Suzuhara's ogling us!" "Gross!" "Hi, Shinji!" "Hey, Big Shot!" "What're you looking at so intently?" "Nothing!" "I think you're looking at Ayanami!" "Right?" "No!" "Oh, come on, dude." "Am I stupid?" "Ayanami's boobs..." "Ayanami's thighs..." "Ayanami's calves!" "I told you, it's nothing like that." "Then, what were you looking at?" "You can't fool me." "I was just wondering why she's always alone." "Come to think of it, she hasn't had any friends since she started here in the 7th grade." "There's just something about her that makes her hard to talk to." "She's probably just got a lousy personality." "You're both Eva pilots, right?" "You should know her better than us." "He's right." "Well, I've hardly spoken to her." "Eva Unit 01 is now entering the third stage cooling process." "Lower all systems to Phase 3 in Cage 6."

"T-Minus 1,050 minutes until the Unit 00 re-activation experiment." "What is this?" "!" "It's curry." "So you're still eating this instant stuff." "Look, you're a guest, so you've got no right to complain." "Here, Misato..." "Oh, here." "Here, put all of that into this!" "Are you serious?" "Oh, don't you know how good this is?" "Okay..." "Ordinary curry flavored instant ramen can't compare to this!" "Let's eat!" "The trick is to put less hot water in the soup." "Misato cooked this, didn't she?" "Misato cooked this, didn't she?" "Oh, can you tell?" "Oh, can you tell?" "Yes, by its taste." "How can she make something ready-to-eat taste so awful?" "Next time, invite me when it's Shinji's turn to cook." "Shinji, you really ought to move." "You shouldn't let one bad roommate ruin your life." "I'm used to it now." "He's right, Ritsuko." "Never underestimate the ability of the human animal to adapt to its environment." "And anyway, if he does move..." "Shinji, why don't you bring me another one, please?" "Shinji, why don't you bring me another one, please?" "He's going to have to go through a lot oftrouble and red tape." "He's going to have to go through a lot of trouble and red tape." "He just got his permanent security card, you know." "Oh, I almost forgot!" "Shinji, would you do me a favor?" "What is it?" "Rei Ayanami's renewal card." "I keep forgetting to give this to her." "Would you mind delivering it before you go to headquarters?" "Sure." "What's the matter?" "You're staring at Rei's picture, aren't you?" "No!" "Oh, I think you are, Shinji." "No!" "Oh, come on!" "You're embarrassed, aren't you?" "Well, you've got an official excuse to go to Rei's place now." "This is your chance, isn't it?" "Stop teasing me!" "But I love teasing you." "You always go ballistic!" "Just like Misato." "I just find it strange that I know so little about Ayanami, even though we're both Eva pilots." "She's a very nice girl, but she's like your father." "She's not very adept at..." "Not adept at what?" "Living." "Excuse me?" "Excuse me, it's Shinji Ikari." "I'm coming in, Miss Ayanami!" "Are these hers?" "Well..." "I didn't mean..." "Will you get off?" "I..." "What is it?" "Well, I mean, I was..." "I was asked to, so..." "What was it?" "The card, your card..." "It's been renewed!" "So I was asked to deliver it." "I didn't mean for any of this to happen." "Ritsuko said she forgot to give it to you." "It's true." "I rang your bell, but there was no reply, and the door was unlocked." "So..." "Central Dogma is currently open to the public." "Group 3 should proceed directly to the fourth gate." "This is your new card." "Ritsuko asked me to deliver it to you." "I'm sorry." "About what?" "Aren't you going to have a re-activation experiment today?" "Say, aren't you scared?" "Aren't you afraid of piloting Unit 00?" "Why?" "I heard that you were hurt pretty badly in an earlier experiment, so I thought you might be..." "Aren't you Commander Ikari's son?" "Yeah." "Don't you have faith in your own father's work?" "Of course not!" "How could I trust him?" "What?" "Rei, are you all right?" "Rei..." "The pilot was trapped inside." "It was Commander Ikari who rescued her." "He opened the super-heated hatch with his bare hands." "That's how he burned his hands." "Rei." "Can you hear me?" "Yes." "We will now commence the Unit 00 re-activation experiment." "Commence first connection." "Connecting main power supply." "Activation voltage has passed the critical point." "Roger." "Shift format to Phase 2." "Connecting pilot to Unit 00." "Open circuits."

"Unit 00 has been activated." "Roger." "Beginning interlock test." "Unidentified object approaching." "It may be the fifth Angel." "Stop the test." "Go to first stage alert." "You're not going to use Unit 00?" "She's not ready to fight yet." "What's the status on Unit 01?" "It'll be ready in 380 seconds." "Engage!" "Yes, Sir." "Yes, Sir." "Rei." "Re-activation was successfully completed." "Return now." "The target is passing over Tonosawa." "Unit 01 is beginning launch preparation." "Releasing primary lock bolts." "Release confirmed." "Release confirmed." "Removing secondary restraints." "Removing secondary restraints." "Roger." "The target is now intruding into Lake Ashino airspace." "Eva Unit 01 is ready for launch." "Launch!" "We're detecting a high energy reaction from inside the target!" "What?" "!" "It's accelerating, and massing upon itself!" "Is it possible?" "No, dodge it!" "Shinji!" "Shinji is saved, but after being injured, he deteriorates rapidly." "Rei is forced to defend Shinji in the heat of battle!" "Meanwhile, Misato desperately tries to pin-point the Angel's weak spot with the ultimate in heavy artillery." "Will Shinji's prayers and all of Japan's energy be enough to penetrate the Angel's shields?" "Unit 00 is fused by the molten impact!" "It's the next episode:" ""Showdown In Tokyo 3!"" "We're detecting a high energy reaction from inside the target!" "We're detecting a high energy reaction from inside the target!" "It's accelerating, and massing in upon itself!" "It's accelerating, and massing in upon itself!" "Is it possible?" "No, dodge it!" "Retrieve him, hurry!" "The target has gone silent!" "How's Shinji?" "He's alive!" "Unit 01 has been recovered." "Send it to the 7th cage." "I'm going to the cage." "Take over for me, please!" "Unit 01 secured!" "The pilot's brain waves are extremely erratic!" "His cardiac readings are very weak." "lncrease power to life support." "Give him a heart massage." "Roger!" "Pulse confirmed!" "Force eject the entry plug!" "Hurry!" "Emergency LCL discharge!" "Roger!" "Come on, open the hatch!" "Hurry!" "Shinji!" "The enemy's accelerated particle beam cannon has hit the balloon!" "The decoy has been vaporized!" "Next." "The Type 12 Mortar has been vaporized!" "I see." "From the data we've collected, we're assuming that the Angel automatically attacks any opponent within a certain range." "Anything entering that range will be targeted." "It's too risky for close range combat in an Eva, isn't it?" "What's the status of its AT field?" "It's still active." "It's strong enough that the spatial changes in phase are visible." "Using conventional attacks, guided missiles, artillery, bombs, will inflict more damage on us than on the Angel!" "Offensively and defensively it's almost perfect." "A flying fortress." "What's the status on its drill?" "At this moment the target is directly above us, penetrating the Tokyo 3 Null Zone." "A giant shielded drill with a diameter of 17.5 meters is boring towards NERV HQ." "The enemy is going to attack NERV Headquarters directly." "Sassy bastard!" "What's its ETA?" "06:54 AM, just after midnight." "By that time, it will breach all twenty-two levels of armor, and compromise NERV Headquarters itself." "Less than ten hours..." "The drill has contacted the first armor plate." "What's the condition of Unit 01?" "The defensive armor was melted down to the third layer." "The good news is that the central control unit sustained no damage." "Three more seconds, and it would have burned right through the Eva." "It will take three hours to install replacement parts." "Roger." "What's the status of Unit 00?" "Re-activation itself should prove no problem, but there's still a feedback error." "So it wouldn't survive combat." "What's the condition of Unit 01's pilot?" "No physical damage." "However, his nerve pulses are up by 0.8." "Still within acceptable limits." "Enemy arrival:" "9 hours, 55 minutes." "Talk about you high pressure situations!" "Why don't we just raise a white flag?" "Before we resort to that, there's one little thing I'd like to try." "You want a sniper to shoot the target from outside its firing zone?" "Yes, Sir." "Instead of trying to neutralize the target's AT field," "I believe a pinpoint shot with a high-energy beam is the only way." "What do the Magi say?" "The responses from the Magi Super Computers were two affirmative and one conditional affirmative." "Our probability of success is 8.7 percent." "It's the highest value we could get." "I see no reason to reject the plan." "You may proceed, Captain." "Yes, Sir." "You know how crazy this whole operation is, don't you," "Operations Director Katsuragi?" "Don't be rude." "It's not crazy!" "It can be executed within the nine hours we have left, and has the highest chance of success." "It does?" "Really?" "But our positron rifle can't handle such high output." "What are you going to do about that?" "We'll borrow one of course." "Borrow one?" "You don't mean..." "Yeah!" "The Strategic Self Defense Force Lab's new prototype!" "NERV is hereby requisitioning this Self Propelled Positron Cannon as of 15:00 today." "But this is ridiculous!" "We'll try to return this in as close to its original condition as we can." "Thank you for your cooperation!" "Okay, Rei!" "Take it away!" "Be careful." "That's a piece of precision machinery!" "Ma'am?" "Our calculations show that it will take at least 180 million kilowatts to penetrate that AT field." "Where in Japan are you going to to get that much electricity?" "From all of Japan." "We'll take it all!" "We apologize for interrupting our regular programming for this Emergency Bulletin." "From 11:30 PM tonight until tomorrow morning, there will be a large scale power blackout throughout most of Japan." "We appreciate your cooperation." "Repeat, from 11:30 PM tonight until tomorrow morning there will be a large scale power blackout throughout Japan." "We appreciate your cooperation." "The drill has just broken through the seventh defensive layer." "What's the status on our energy supply?" "3.2% behind schedule, but we should be finished by 23:10." "And the positron rifle?" "For the honor of Technology Development Department 3, we're betting that we'll have it built in three hours." "And how's our defense coming?" "Well, using a shield is about all we can do." "So, this is the shield?" "Yes." "It was part of a single stage trans-orbital rocket." "It may look ugly, but it's got an electromagnetic base coating that" "Section 2 guarantees will stand up to the enemy's particle beam for at least seventeen seconds." "Good." "Have you determined the sniper position?" "Given the location ofthe target, taking geographical features and power access into consideration, this would be our best choice." "Right." "Looking good." "Our sniper will attack from the top of Mount Futago!" "The Operation will commence, at 00:00 tomorrow morning!" "From this point on, this operation will be called "Operation Yashima"." "Roger." "Now, the only remaining problem is the pilot." "Unit 01's designated pilot is conscious now." "His examination results look normal." "Good." "Then, the operation will proceed as planned." "Roger." "But I wonder if he'll pilot it again." "Let's get to Mt." "Futago now!" "Ayanami..." "I'm here to brief you on the Operation Yashima timetable." "The operation will begin at midnight, 00:00 hours." "Pilots lkari and Ayanami will arrive at the cage by 17:30." "At 18:00, Units 01 and 00 will activate." "At 18:05, both units must be deployed." "They will arrive at the temporary base on Mount Futago at 18:30." "There, they will await further orders." "The Operation will begin promptly at midnight." "This is the new one." "Don't show up looking like that." "Sorry." "I've been apologizing since yesterday." "Your meal." "I don't want to eat anything." "We'll be departing in sixty minutes." "Do I really have to pilot the Eva again?" "Yes, you do." "I don't want to." "Maybe you can be so cool about it, because you haven't had the kind of experiences I've had yet." "I don't want to go through it again." "Then, you can stay here in bed." "What do you mean by that?" "I'll pilot Unit 01." "Dr. Akagi is already prepared to rewrite the personal data files." "Ritsuko is..." "I'm leaving." "Captain Katsuragi and Dr. Akagi are waiting for me." "Goodbye." "They're really late." "We ought to evacuate to the shelter." "I hacked into my dad's data files." "I'm sure this is the time." "Why aren't they here then?" "The mountain is moving." "The Evangelions!" "Cool!" "Go for it, Evangelions!" "We believe in you!" "Beat the Angel!" "The drill has penetrated through the 17th layer of armor." "It will reach headquarters in 3 hours 55 minutes." "Power supply transfer from Shikoku and Kyushu is completed." "Beginning tests of each cooling system." "This is a very delicate piece of machinery!" "Handle it carefully." "This thing wasn't built for field operations." "Will it really work?" "There's no choice." "This is the most expedient way of gaining our goal." "Are you sure it's safe to use?" "Theoretically, yes." "However, we're not sure if the cannon barrel and accelerator will be able to handle the stress or not." "This is the first time it's been fired with such a high power output." "Here are the battle plans for the operation." "Shinji..." "Shinji..." "Your Unit 01 will be the gunner." "Your Unit 01 will be the gunner." "Right." "Rei, you will cover him with Unit 00." "Right." "This is because Shinji has a higher sync ratio with Unit 01, and this operation will require exceptional precision." "Since the positron beam will be influenced by the Earth's gravity, magnetic fields and rotation, it will not fire in a straight line." "You must remember to make adjustments for these deviations." "You must penetrate the core precisely." "But I've never practiced this!" "Don't worry." "Just do what the manual says." "When the indicators converge in the center, pull the trigger." "The computers will handle the rest." "Also, be aware that before you can fire the rifle a second time, you'll have to wait for the unit to cool, replace the fuses and reload." "And if I miss?" "Or if the enemy shoots back?" "Don't think like that." "You must destroy it with your first shot." "So I have no choice." "I..." "I'm just to defend Unit 01, correct?" "Yes." "Understood." "It's time." "Get geared up." "Right!" "Maybe this is our last day alive." "Why do you say that?" "You won't die." "I'll protect you." "Why do you pilot this?" "Because I'm bonded to it." "Bonded?" "Yes, it's a bond." "You mean to my father?" "To all people." "You're very strong, Ayanami." "I have nothing else." "What do you mean, "you have nothing else"?" "It's time." "Let's go." "Goodbye." "The time is now 00:00." "Commencing operation." "Shinji, we're entrusting you with all the energy of Japan." "I'm counting on you." "I'm counting on you." "Understood." "lnitiate primary connection." "lnitiating powertransmission from Districts number 1 through 803." "Voltage is rising." "Water exchange unit reaching pressure zone." "All cooling systems operating at full power!" "Temperature stable." "No problems detected." "Positron charge is nominal." "lnitiate second connection!" "All accelerators engaging." "Activate convergence unit." "Transmitting all power to Mount Futago temporary substation." "No problems reported with third connection." "Release final safety systems." "Pull sear up!" "Error correction for Earth rotation and gravity is 0.0009." "Voltage is 0.2 short of critical." "Seventh and tenth connections engaged!" "Transmitting all energy to the positron rifle!" "8... 7... 6... 5..." "High energy output detected inside the target!" "High energy output detected inside the target!" "High energy output detected inside the target!" "It can't be!" "2... 1..." "Fire!" "Did we miss?" "The enemy drill has broken into the GeoFront!" "Hurry!" "Line up a second shot!" "Replacing fuses!" "lnitiating recharge!" "Barrel cooling in progress!" "We've got another high energy reading building inside the target!" "No, not now!" "Shinji!" "Ayanami!" "That shield can't last long!" "Are we ready yet?" "!" "Ten more seconds." "Hurry up!" "Hurry up!" "We got it!" "Ayanami!" "Ayanami!" "Are you all right?" "!" "Ayanami!" "Don't say..." "Don't say that you have nothing else." "Don't say goodbye when you leave on a mission." "It's too sad." "Why are you crying?" "I'm sorry." "I don't know what to do or feel at a time like this." "Why don't you try smiling?" "NERV isn't the only agency trying to combat the Angels." "When the giant humanoid robot created by a civilian corporation goes out of control during its official trial run, it's up to Eva Unit 01 to catch the rampaging Jet alone." "Can Misato stop its nuclear reactor from melting down?" "It's the next episode:" ""The Human Creation"." "And of course, I'll give you lots of fan service too!" "Once again, I owe you." "You're not going to pay me back anyway, are you?" "About the materials they wanted under Freedom of lnformation," "I handled it by giving them some falsified data." "The government is proceeding with legal action, but that will be blocked any day now." "So, should I do something about that project as well?" "No, judging by the material you sent me, it would appear that further intervention is unnecessary." "Then, I'll continue with the plan." "Good morning." "G'morning." "This is the way to start your morning!" "Not with coffee?" "A traditional Japanese breakfast begins with rice, miso and sake." "Not all Japanese breakfasts, just Misato's." "What's that supposed to mean?" "By the way, who was supposed to do the cooking today?" "Now I know why you're still single at your age, Misato." "Well, excuse me, but are you saying that I'm lazy?" "And sloppy too." "Leave me alone!" "I'm done." "Are you really going to come to school today?" "Of course." "It's your parent-teacher meeting after all." "But you're so busy with your work." "No problem." "This is part of my responsibilities anyway." "It's part of your job?" "Hi!" "Oh, thanks for coming!" "Yes, he's getting ready." "Misato, you shouldn't go out like that." "It's embarrassing." "I know." "Good morning, Mr. lkari." "We're taking off now, Misato!" "Take care!" "Come on!" "How ironic." "It's good that it's getting easier for him to express himself." "Yes?" "He just left." "Please stand guard over him." "There!" "She came!" "Cool!" "Who is she?" "Is she lkari's guardian?" "What?" "!" "He's got a babe like that for a guardian?" "!" "Those guys are such dorks." "She's gorgeous, truly gorgeous!" "Is that so?" "It's amazing someone so beautiful could be NERV's Ops Director." "Is that so?" "It's just a counseling session but my mother had to dress up!" "It's just a counseling session but my mother had to dress up!" "It's just a counseling session but my mother had to dress up!" "Yeah, Shinji's no rival for us!" "Yeah, Shinji's no rival for us!" "You guys don't know what a slob she is." "Man, I wish she were my girlfriend!" "Yeah, and you'd have to put up with a lot of trouble." "You just don't get it, do you, Mr. Big Shot?" "You just keep the Earth safe, and we'll take care of Misato!" "Unit 01 has achieved the required cooling level." "Shifting operations to Stage 2." "Shifting operations to Stage 2." "Keeping the Earth safe..." "That's what Eva is for." "Come to think of it, just what is the Eva?" "The entry plug smells a lot like blood." "But I feel so comfortable and relaxed here." "Why?" "Now that I think of it, I don't know anything about Eva." "What's the status of Unit 00's bio-chest components?" "It was seriously damaged." "We'll have to make a new one, even if it requires a bigger budget." "Will our job get any simpler when we get Unit 02?" "It could go just the other way." "Disposing of the dead Angels costs a bundle." "Yeah, this place is ridiculously under-financed, especially since mankind's future rests on what we do here." "It can't be helped." ""Man cannot live by Eva alone."" "All those survivors need money to live too." "Money!" "So, is the Commander off to another conference?" "Yes, he's on board, and en route now." "Thank God, a little peace and quiet." "Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here?" "The revised budget for the sample collection passed quite easily, didn't it?" "The Committee's main concern is for their own survival." "They aren't stingy when their own lives are at stake." "Yes, they used to think there were no more Angels." "But I have more good news." "All of the permanent members of the Security Council except the U.S. have approved the budget for Eva Unit 06." "It's just a matter of time before the U.S. approves it as well." "The Americans seem to be allergic to unemployment." "And what about your country?" "We will participate beginning with the construction of Unit 08." "The plans for the second installation project are still viable." "However, a pilot has not yet been found." "The Angels have returned." "We have no choice but to defeat them." "We don't want another Second Impact either." "You're saying that the Second Impact wasn't..." "Yes, the history texts say it was a disaster caused by a meteorite, but sometimes the true facts have been concealed." "Fifteen years ago in Antarctica, we discovered the being known as the first "Angel"." "However, in the middle of the investigation, for unknown reasons, the Angel exploded." "That is the real truth behind the Second Impact." "Then, the things we're doing here are to..." "To prevent a probable Third Impact from happening." "That is the purpose of NERV and the Evangelions." "By the way, the event will occur tomorrow as scheduled." "I understand." "Good morning." "Good morning." "I'm going to Old Tokyo on business." "I'll probably be back late tonight, so have delivery for dinner." "Later." "Okay." "It's hard to believe this used to be the flourishing capital of Tokyo." "We're here." "Why are they having it in a place like this?" "Is the SSDF getting involved?" "The Strategic Self Defense Force?" "No, they're not allowed to." "I see, so that's why they can do whatever they like." "Good afternoon, welcome to this demonstration of Japan Heavy Chemical Industrial's new product." "Thank you for attending." "You will be observing the offical demonstration in the control room, but we'll be taking your questions here." "Yes!" "The famous Dr. Ritsuko Akagi." "The famous Dr. Ritsuko Akagi." "It is our honor to have you here." "May I ask a question?" "Of course, certainly!" "According to our earlier briefing, this unit is equipped with an internal nuclear reactor, correct?" "Yes, this is one of our product's most distinguished features." "150 days of consecutive operating power is assured." "But from a safety perspective, isn't incorporating a nuclear reactor into a weapon designed for hand-to-hand combat risky?" "It's better than a weapon that won't work for over five minutes." "But in an emergency there could be problems with remote control." "Still it's more humane than a system that induces great mental stress, and causes mental instability." "Cut it out." "This just makes you look childish." "And there's still the issue of manual control." "A weapon that cannot be controlled is insane." "I believe that it is safer than an extremely dangerous weapon that can run out of control, and go berserk." "It's like a hysterical woman!" "In other words, completely out of control!" "Our pilots and technology are up to the task of controlling it." "So, you're saying that science and courage will tame that beast?" "Are you serious?" "Yes, of course I'm serious!" "Because it depends on something as vague as the human heart," "NERV has allowed the situation to get completely out of control." "That's why the UN had to approve a huge increase in your budget." "As a result, 20,000 people in several countries are starving." "Of course, the actual cause of all this is still under investigation." "Why don't you at least take responsibility for your handiwork?" "I envy you." "It must be nice to be protected by a supra-legal act." "It doesn't matter what you say." "The fact is that NERV has the only weapon that can best the enemy." "You mean the AT field?" "It's just a matter of time now." "NERV's day in the sun will not last forever." "Damn it!" "ldiot!" "Who does he think he is?" "!" "That S.O.B.'s just pissed at being cut out of the profit loop!" "That god damn son of a bitch!" "Damn it!" "Damn it!" "Cut that out." "Behave yourself." "He's just a show-off, begging for praise and adulation." "He's petty, not worthy of attention." "But how did he know about the AT field?" "!" "How could something so classified leak out?" "lntelligence must be dragging its ass." "We're about to start the JA activation test." "Don't worry, there's no risk at all." "Make yourselves comfortable, and watch through that window." "Ready to begin." "Start the test." "Discharge the power core." "Pressure levels nominal." "Coolant system circulation nominal." "Release the control rods." "The reactor has exceeded threshold levels." "Output is nominal." "Begin walk cycle." "Walking." "Forward ahead, slow." "Forward right leg." "Roger." "Walk, forward ahead slow." "Forward right leg." "Balance is nominal." "Power core status nominal." "Roger." "Now, forward left leg." "Keep her steady." "It walks!" "Now that's something to be proud of." "What's wrong?" "This is odd." "The pressure inside the reactor is increasing." "This is odd." "The pressure inside the reactor is increasing." "The temperature of the primary coolant system is also rising!" "Open the release valve." "lnsert the neutron- deceleration fluid." "No effect!" "The pump output isn't increasing!" "Shut off the power." "Emergency stop!" "Abort signal transmission confirmed." "It's not accepting it!" "The radio circuit is being blocked!" "It's out of control!" "It can't be!" "No!" "Oh, God!" "Run away!" "That robot is as badly behaved as the guy who built it." "The compression valve is operating irregularly!" "The control rods aren't working!" "Possibility of meltdown imminent!" "It's unbelievable." "JA's been programmed to handle all possible contingencies!" "This kind of thing can't happen!" "Yet, the fact is, the danger of a meltdown is now before us!" "Under the circumstances, our only option is to wait for it to stop." "And what is the estimated probability of an automatic stop?" "0.00002%!" "We'd better hope for a miracle!" "Determined efforts are better than a miracle!" "Tell me how to stop that thing!" "We've tried every possible option." "No, there's got to be a last resort, a way to wipe everything out." "Give me the password." "The password to delete all programming is top secret." "I can't authorize it." "I'm not allowed to tell you!" "Then get the clearance!" "Right now!" "It's me." "Let me speak to Mr. Manda in Tokyo 2." "That's right, the Director of lnternal Affairs." "Well, I'll have to delegate this to Mr. Yasugi." "Ask him." "I can't give authorization for such an important matter on the phone." "Could you submit a written request?" "So, now I need to get Mr. Yoshizawa's permission?" "What?" "Yes, I've already got an approval from Mr. Witz." "Yes... yes, okay." "The evasion of responsibility..." "A written order of clearance will be sent." "That will make this an official operation." "We can't wait for it!" "Once that thing explodes, it'll be too late!" "Jet Alone is heading for Atsugi." "Time is running out." "I'll take responsibility for this myself." "Excuse me." "Hey, Hyuga?" "I'vc arranged it with Atsugi." "Bring Shinji, Unit 01 and the F module." "Yes, this is an emergency." "This is pointless." "Call this off, Captain Katsuragi." "Do you have any idea as to how to stop it?" "By inputting a direct command manually." "Are you serious?" "Yes." "But the interior must be flooded with radioactivity!" "It's too risky!" "But if I make it, everyone will be saved." "The hatch can be opened as soon as our signal is cut off." "You'll be able to enter through the back pack." ""Hope"." "That's the password to delete the programming." "Thank you." "JA is the target." "There's a danger of meltdown in five minutes." "Therefore, we cannot allow it to get any closer to a populated area." "Hyuga?" "Yes, Ma'am?" "As soon as you drop off Eva, ascend to a safe altitude." "Affirmative." "And Shinji..." "And Shinji..." "Run alongside the target, and place me on its back." "Run alongside the target, and place me on its back." "Then restrain the target as best you can." "Are you going to get inside?" "Yeah." "That's crazy!" "That's crazy!" "I know, but there just isn't any other way." "But it's too dangerous!" "No problem." "Eva can withstand a direct explosion." "Not that!" "I meant for you, Misato!" "Well, I've got to give it my best shot, or else I'll regret it for the rest of my life." "Target sighted." "Here we go." "Eva approaching drop position." "Docking release!" "Roger!" "We've caught up with it!" "We've got less than four minutes." "Put me on, now!" "Don't think!" "Just do it!" "Misato!" "Be careful." "Talk about hot." "This looks bad." "Stop, you bastard!" "Misato!" "Hurry!" "I'm here." "Error?" "What in the hell is this?" "There's no doubt!" "The program must have been altered!" "The power reactor is just 0.2 points short of critical!" "The control rods won't function!" "Guess I'll try the long shot." "Misato, get out of there!" "Move!" "Move, damn you!" "Misato!" "0.1 to critical!" "My God!" "It's going to explode!" "Christ, it's all over." "Misato!" "She made it!" "lnternal pressure decreasing!" "lnternal pressure decreasing!" "All readings are nominal!" "We're saved!" "Hooray, hooray!" "She's done it!" "That crazy fool." "Misato, are you all right?" "!" "Misato?" "!" "Yeah, I'm okay, not in the greatest shape though." "You're alive!" "I'm so glad!" "You're all right!" "You're really all right!" "Oh, thank Heaven." "I'm so impressed!" "It's a miracle!" "Yeah..." "But the miracle was set up by someone." "Recovery of Unit 01 is complete." "No danger of radioactive contamination." "Except for Captain Katsuragi's operation, everything went according to plan." "Good work." "G'morning." "Now, let me at that shower!" "Where are my bra and panties?" "Good morning, Mr. lkari!" "Good morning." "I'm taking off!" "Take care!" "Misato is just so cool!" "I thought so too, but she's sloppy, embarrassing and lazy at home." "She's not embarrassed about it, but I am." "How nice for you." "What do you mean?" "He really is a kid." "Yeah, he sure is." "How come?" "She lets you see a side of her that she won't show to anyone else." "That means she's your family." "Eva Unit 02 and its pilot have left Wilhelmshaven to come to Japan!" "This aggressive girl causes Shinji to have trouble communicating, and a surprise Angel attack forces the now activated Unit 02 into its first underwater battle!" "Can Misato triumph with the entry plug in chaos?" "It's the next episode:" ""Asuka Strikes!"" "Watch for it!" "Correct, I have already arranged it with the committee." "The cargo left from Sasebo Port yesterday, and is now making its way here across the Pacific ocean." "A MlG-55 D transport helicopter!" "I'd never have believed I'd get chance to fly in one." "Thank God I have a buddy like you, Shinji!" "I thought you guys must be sick of being cramped up, so I just invited you on a date!" "What?" "!" "Today is really a date?" "I bought this cap for today, Misato!" "Where are we headed?" "We'll take a little jaunt across the Pacific on that gorgeous cruiser." "Wow!" "Five aircraft carriers and four battleships!" "What a fleet!" "I'm absolutely sure the best thing in life is having a great buddy!" "That's your "gorgeous cruiser"?" "Yeah, she sure is gorgeous!" "That's the pride of the U.N., the glorious regular carrier" ""Over the Rainbow"!" "It's huge." "I'm surprised that such a relic is still afloat." "Naw, it's not so bad." "It's a vintage model from just before the Second Impact." "Damn, give me a break!" "That shrew's gone and brought a socket for that kid's toy, so the little gophers can run amuck!" "Oh!" "Cool!" "Awesome!" "Cool!" "Incredible!" "Cool!" "Mega-cool!" "Wow!" "This is way too cool!" "This kind of thing brings a tear to the heart of a real man!" "Cool!" "Awesome!" "Neat!" "Wow!" "Wow!" "Hey, wait!" "Wait!" "Damn it!" "Stop!" "Stop, now!" "Hello, Misato." "How have you been?" "Fine." "How 'bout you?" "You've grown some, haven't you?" "And how!" "I'm not just taller, my figure's filled out as well." "Let me introduce you." "This is the pilot of Evangelion Unit 02, the Second Child," "Asuka Langley Sohryu." "What did you do that for?" "!" "That's the viewing fee." "Quite a bargain, don't you think?" "What?" "You think it's worth that?" "!" "Here, take a look at mine!" "You insolent dork!" "So, which one is the famous Third Child?" "Don't tell me it's him." "Don't worry, here he is." "Well, he looks kind of dull." "I thought you were the leader of this gang of Boy Scouts, but I was obviously mistaken." "Thank you for your understanding, Captain." "Oh no, thank you for giving me the opportunity to baby-sit more kids." "We appreciate your assistance in the marine transport of Unit 02." "Here are the specs for the emergency power supply socket." "In the first place, I'd never approve any request to activate that toy while at sea." "Why don't you just think of this as being prepared for an emergency?" "That's why the Pacific Fleet is guarding it." "When did the U.N. transform us into a bloody cargo service?" "It was just after a certain organization was established." "Guarding a toy!" "What a grandiose assignment for the Pacific Fleet!" "It's still not enough considering the importance of the Eva." "Would you sign this document?" "Not yet." "Eva Unit 02 and its pilot have been entrusted to us by the Third Branch in Germany." "I won't let you just waltz in, and do as you please!" "Then, when will you transfer them to us?" "Once we've unloaded in New Yokosuka." "The ocean is our jurisdiction." "You will follow our orders here." "I understand." "However, I should remind you that, in the case of an emergency, our, NERV's, authority overrides yours." "She's cool!" "She looks like Ritsuko." "Well, you're as gallant as always." "Kaji!" "Mr. Kaji, I must insist that you not invite yourself onto the bridge." "Oh, sorry about that." "Well, excuse us." "Transport us to New Yokosuka as ordered." "Well, excuse us." "Transport us to New Yokosuka as ordered." "Well, excuse us." "Transport us to New Yokosuka as ordered." "Those kids are really going to save the Earth?" "Times have changed." "I understand that Congress has pinned its hopes on that robot." "On that toy?" "ldiots!" "If they've got money to blow, they ought to give us a little more." "What are you doing here?" "!" "Accompanying her." "I'm on a business trip from Germany." "Man, was I careless." "I should have anticipated this." "Hey!" "Don't touch me!" "I can't help it!" "Squadron 3 will sortie as scheduled." "Squadron 3 will sortie as scheduled." "Do you have a boyfriend now?" "Do you have a boyfriend now?" "That's none of your business, is it?" "How can you be so mean?" "How can you be so mean?" "I understand that you're living with Katsuragi here, aren't you?" "I understand that you're living with Katsuragi here, aren't you?" "Yes." "Yes." "So tell me, is she still wild in bed?" "So tell me, is she still wild in bed?" "Wha... wha..." "Wha... wha..." "What are you implying?" "!" "What are you implying?" "!" "So, she hasn't changed, has she, Mister Shinji Ikari?" "So, she hasn't changed, has she, Mister Shinji Ikari?" "Well..." "Well..." "How do you know my name?" "Well, I ought to know you." "Well, I ought to know you." "You're pretty famous in our business." "You're pretty famous in our business." "The Third Child, who piloted an Eva in battle with no training." "The Third Child, who piloted an Eva in battle with no training." "It was just luck." "It was just luck." "Luck is a part of your destiny." "It's your talent." "Luck is a part of your destiny." "It's your talent." "Well, I'll see you later." "See you." "This has got to be a bad joke." "No, a nightmare." "So, what do you think about Mister Shinji Ikari?" "He's boring." "That's the great Third Child?" "What a disappointment." "Yet his sync ratio was well over 40% in combat with no training." "That can't be!" "That captain's attitude gets on my nerves." "He's got a lot of pride." "Too much pride's bound to make him cynical about us." "That Mr. Kaji is pretty lively." "He hasn't changed at all, that jerk." "Hey, Third Child!" "Come with me!" "Red?" "I didn't know that Unit 02 was red." "The color isn't the only difference." "After all, Units 00 and 01 were created as part of a developing process, prototype and test type." "The fact that it synchronized with an untrained pilot like you is proof of that." "However, Unit 02 is a little different." "Created for actual combat conditions, this is the world's first true Evangelion." "This is the final model!" "What was that?" "An undersea shock wave!" "Something exploded nearby!" "What's that?" "Is that an Angel?" "!" "Is that a real one?" "Oh, my gosh!" "We've got to go back, and find Misato." "This is my chance!" "All ships maintain formation, and take evasive action!" "Status report!" "The Cymbeline's gone silent." "Titus Andronicus can't locate the target!" "Damn it!" "What in the hell is going on here?" "!" "Hello, NERV delivery." "Would you like to order information on this enemy and countermeasures to use against it?" "This is a combat situation!" "No unauthorized personnel allowed!" "This is just my opinion, but I'd say this must be an Angel attack." "All ships, fire at will!" "It's pointless." "An AT field can't be penetrated with this kind of firepower." "But why is an Angel here?" "My God, is it after Unit 02?" "Where are you taking me?" "Just wait there a second." "I can't believe this." "Don't peep, you pervert!" "Don't peep, you pervert!" "Don't peep, you pervert!" "Why are all boys such perverted jerks?" "Here we go, Asuka." "Why won't it sink?" "!" "I knew it." "Only an Eva can beat it!" "Let's go." "Come with me!" "Hey, what are these entry-plug suits for?" "Are you dense?" "We're going to beat it with my Unit 02!" "No way!" "Do you have approval from Misato?" "I'll get permission after I've beaten it." "Now, I'll show you how magnificent my piloting is!" "Just don't disturb me." "This is odd." "It seems to be looking for something." "I didn't expect to see an Angel here." "This isn't how it's supposed to be, is it?" "This is what Unit 02 is for, and I've generously provided a second pilot as a reserve." "If worse comes to worst, you can escape by yourself." "I know." "Program error?" "What happened?" "Thought noise!" "I told you not to disturb me." "What do you mean?" "You're thinking in Japanese, aren't you?" "Think in German." "Oh, okay." "Baumkuchen..." "Fine, stop trying." "Switch the language to basic Japanese." "Evangelion Unit 02, activate." "Telex from the Othello!" "Unit 02 is in the process of activation." "What the..." "Nice going, Asuka!" "No!" "Abort the activation sequence!" "Reset it!" "I don't care!" "Asuka!" "Go for it!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Eva and its pilot are under our control!" "You're violating my command authority!" "What are you talking about?" "This is an emergency!" "Who gives a damn about your procedures?" "You and your procedures!" "You and your procedures!" "You do know that Unit 02 is still using the type-B equipment?" "If we fall in the sea, we're done for!" "And if we don't, we'll be fine, all right?" "Shinji, are you in there too?" "Yes." "(Kids!" "Two kids!" ") Yes." "(Kids!" "Two kids!" ")" "This is a good opportunity..." "Asuka, launch!" "It's coming!" "Launching!" "Where is it?" "That way!" "We've only got 58 seconds left!" "I am well aware of that!" "Misato!" "Get the external power supply socket onto the flight deck." "I've got it." "What is she going to do?" "Here we go!" "Jump!" "Jump?" "Run!" "The power socket is in place!" "Reactor connection completed!" "The deck is ready for Eva landing!" "All hands, prepare for impact!" "I can't believe this!" "I can't believe this!" "Eva 02, landing on deck!" "No!" "What a waste!" "Target is approaching rapidly!" "It's coming!" "9 o'clock!" "Switching to external power!" "Switch completed." "But we don't have any weapons." "The progressive knife should be good enough." "It's bigger than I thought." "That's what I figured!" "What are they going to do?" "!" "Hand-to-hand combat is the best way to defeat Angels." "Good work, Asuka!" "This isn't a game!" "Look at the mess you've made of the deck!" "See?" "!" "It's sinking!" "Asuka!" "It's impossible to fight under water with the type-B equipment!" "You never know, unless you try!" "What a waste!" "How much cable is left?" "Another 1,200 meters!" "What are you going to do?" "We can deal with it somehow." "I've got to do something." "The cable's going to run out!" "Brace for the shock!" "Damn it!" "Eva missed the target!" "I've got time to change the disk." "My God!" "A Yak 38 Custom!" "Hey, Katsuragi!" "Kaji!" "I've got something to deliver, so I'll be taking off now." "Launch!" "Take care of the rest of this, Captain Katsuragi." "He ran away." "I don't believe it!" "The target is approaching Eva again!" "It's coming again!" "I'll finish it off this time." "What?" "!" "It's not working!" "That's because this is B-type equipment." "What're you going to do?" "!" "What am I going to do?" "You're the Third Child, aren't you?" "Do something!" "Here it comes!" "A mouth?" "!" "That's because it's an Angel." "Eva 02 has entered the target's body." "Does that mean that the Eva's been eaten?" "This is like fishing!" "Fishing?" "Yes, fishing!" "From a bad situation to a worse one." "Shut up!" "Hey, get off me already, you pervert!" "But we've got to free ourselves." "Asuka, do you read me?" "Don't let go of it!" "Captain..." "What?" "I'm requesting your cooperation." "A point-blank assault by two of the surviving battleships?" "!" "Correct." "We'll scuttle two of the evacuated battleships on top of the umbilical cable to set a trap." "When the Eva opens the target's mouth, both ships will rush in." "They will fire all of their bow turret cannons, and then self-destruct, destroying the target." "That's absurd!" "Absurd, perhaps, but not impossible." "I understand." "All hands abandon ship!" "Repeat, all hands, abandon ship!" "The frigates will rescue the lifeboats!" "But what about the Eva?" "Not to worry." "They'll be fine." "Hey!" "Don't use Unit 02 without my permission!" "Do the two of you understand the operation?" "I'll do my best." "I'm counting on you." "All ships, open the Kingston valve!" "Scuttle at point Z." "Roger!" "Cable reverse!" "Eva has started to surface!" "T-minus 70 to contact!" "Hey, you're touching my... get off!" "But we've got to open its mouth, or we'll be killed!" "T-minus 60 to contact." "Status on the Angel's mouth?" "(It's still not open!" ") Status on the Angel's mouth?" "(It's still not open!" ")" "Both battleships are sinking towards the target." "Eva is continuing to surface, T-minus 50 to contact." "No, it won't open!" "No time left!" "Target has passed beneath the Tempest!" "Hurry!" "Or you won't make it!" "Don't get any strange ideas." "What?" "Anyway, just concentrate on your thoughts." "You can say that again!" "T-minus 20 to contact!" "T-minus 15 to contact!" "Open!" "Open!" "Open!" "Open!" "Open!" "Open!" "Open!" "Open!" "Fire!" "Christ!" "That was rather spectacular!" "I had to improvise." "I should have anticipated underwater combat." "It's rare for you to regret anything." "Is this some kind of self-analysis?" "Cut it out." "We've collected a lot ofvaluable data." "Yeah." "Misato..." "This really is something special." "A pair of..." "Look!" "I don't believe this!" "They broke their synchronization ratio records, didn't they?" "For only seven seconds." "It must have been due to the danger." "Hey, where's Kaji?" "He ran off." "That idiot's got to be back at headquarters by now!" "It was a pretty eventful trip." "Was it caused by this, I wonder?" "It's already restored itself this far." "It's frozen inside dura-bakelite, but it's still alive." "This is the keystone of the Human Instrumentality Project, isn't it?" "Correct." "This is the first human being." "Adam." "She may have looked cute, but she was a real bitch." "Well, we won't have to see her again." "Yeah, old Mister Big Shot has to see her at work though." "I really feel sorry for you." "My name is Asuka Langley Sohryu." "I'm very pleased to meet you." "Deployed on a large scale ocean side interception," "Asuka and Shinji's first teamwork results in their being roughed up due to their conflicting personalities." "Misato formulates a plan to achieve their perfect unison." "A six day long drama for human destiny begins." "The next episode:" ""With One Accord in a Flash"." "Well, I'll give you lots more fan service!" "Hey, have you seen her yet?" "Oh, yeah!" "Yeah!" "Seen who?" "You dork, you haven't seen the foreign girl yet?" "Foreign girl?" "Yeah, she's in 8th grade, Class A." "She just transferred here last week." "She's hot!" "Her name's Asuka Langley Sohryu, did you know that?" "Yeah, she's so cute." "Since she was raised over there but born here, do you think she already has a boyfriend?" "Don't be stupid!" "I bet she broke up in Germany, and she's here in a foreign land with a heart that can't be mended." "Oh my gosh..." "Did you hear all the cat talk?" "Asuka!" "Asuka!" "They're just ignorant." "Thank you, come again." "At least the pictures don't reveal her personality." "Hello!" "Shinji!" "Guten Morgen!" "Guten Morgen." "Hey, why so gloomy?" "This is the gorgeous Asuka greeting you!" "You should appreciate your good fortune!" "I'm the most popular girl in school!" "Hey, the other one's here too, isn't she?" "Other one?" "What are you, stupid?" "I'm talking about the First Child, of course!" "Oh, Ayanami..." "Hello!" "You must be Rei Ayanami, the pilot of the prototype." "I'm Asuka!" "Asuka Langley Sohryu." "I'm the designated pilot of Eva Unit 02." "Let's be good friends!" "Why?" "Because it'd be convenient." "You know what I mean?" "If I'm ordered to, I will." "Talk about odd." "I'll say." "Are only weirdos chosen to be pilots?" "You've lost some weight." "Is that so?" "You must be enduring an unrequited love." "How did you know?" "Because..." ""A woman with a mole in the pathway of her tears is destined to a life full of them."" "If you're trying to put a move on me, I'm afraid you can't." "There's a very ugly face observing us." "Long time no see, Kaji." "It's been a while." "You're a little less discreet than I expected." "He hasn't ever been discreet in his life!" "You've handed over Unit 02, right?" "You should be leaving now!" "I just received orders this morning that I'll be staying here on loan." "So we can hang around again, just like we used to." "You've got to be kidding!" "Enemy attack?" "!" "We just got this report from the battle cruiser Haruna." ""Huge submerged object detected off Ki'i peninsula." "Sending data."" "The data has been collated and examined." "Wavelength pattern Blue." "Confirmed to be an Angel." "All personnel, go to first stage alert." "The recent battle severely damaged the intercept system." "Only twenty-six percent of our defense capability is available." "And our operational capability for actual combat is virtually nil." "Therefore, we're going to have to intercept the target at the water's edge, right before it makes landfall!" "Units 01 and 02 will mount an attack in a series of waves." "In other words, close in and take turns." "Roger." "This sucks." "My Japanese debut, and she won't let me solo." "Why do I have to bring you?" "!" "It can't be helped." "Procedures, you know?" "Well, let me tell you something, just don't get in my way!" "His selection as a pilot must have been a joke, right?" "Two against one is not what I call a fair fight." "It's not fair." "We don't get a choice." "Survival takes priority." "There!" "Commence attack!" "I'll handle this Angel!" "You cover me!" "Cover you?" "Ladies first!" "Damn it, don't give me orders, you dumb rookie!" "Charge!" "That wasn't bad." "What did you think of that, Third Child?" "!" "A fight should be clean, elegant and without waste." "What's this crap?" "Today, at 10:58:15 AM," "Unit 01 was attacked by Target Alpha, which separated from the target submerged 2 km off Suruga Bay." "At the same time, plus 20 seconds, Unit 02 was halted by Target Beta." "We have a comment from E-Project chairperson." "This is pathetic." "This is all your fault!" "You totally screwed up my debut battle!" "What are you talking about?" "You're the one who charged in there acting like an idiot!" "ldiot?" "!" "How dare you call me that?" "Pathetic excuse for a combat pilot!" "You're just a jerk!" "Look in the mirror!" "In your rush to show off, you completely ignored procedures!" "In your rush to show off, you completely ignored procedures!" "What was that?" "You look like a drowned rat!" "At 11:03 AM, NERV abandoned the operation" "At 11:03 AM, NERV abandoned the operation" "You can't say that kind of thing to me!" "and transferred command to the UN Secondary Force." "We've been humiliated." "At 11:05 AM, the UN forces made an attack with an N2 mine." "We'll have to re-draw the map again." "They succeeded in burning off 28% of target's structural substance." "They succeeded in burning off 28% of target's structural substance." "This is merely temporary relief." "A second attack is a matter of time." "This is merely temporary relief." "A second attack is a matter of time." "At least we have time to regroup." "You can't ask for more than that." "Listen up, you two." "Do you know what your job is?" "Piloting Eva." "No!" "Your job is to defeat the Angels." "NERV does not exist to make grotesque displays like this." "Therefore, you two must cooperate." "Why should we?" "!" "Enough already." "Why does everyone get so angry here?" "It's because adults are much too aware of their credibility." "Where's Misato?" "Clearing things up." "The person in charge must take responsibility." "Here are the internal protests and damage reports." "This is a bill from the UN, and here you have complaints from the PR department as well." "Read them all." "I can tell what they say without looking." ""lf you're going to fight, don't do it here," right?" "Good guess." "I'll do it as soon as we take care of this Angel." "I swear I will destroy that Angel." "The Vice Commander is pretty angry." "You'll almost certainly be demoted if you embarrass him again." "It was good luck within bad luck that Commander Ikari wasn't here." "If he'd been here, you'd have been fired before he ever saw these." "So, have you brought me an idea to help save my job?" "Just one." "I thank you, Dr. Ritsuko Akagi." "It's good to have a friend one can count on." "However, I'm not the one who'll be saving my old friend." "This is Kaji's idea." "Kaji?" "I'm home!" "Not that anyone's here, of course, but..." "What is this?" "!" "Don't be so rude!" "Those are my personal belongings!" "You!" "What in the blazes are you doing in my house?" "Why are you still here?" "Still here?" "You've been dumped for the new model!" "Misato will be living with me." "That's a more logical choice when you consider my superior abilities." "Although honestly, I'd rather live with Kaji." "Say, just why are Japanese houses so small anyway?" "Not even half of my stuff fits!" "And the Japanese sure don't have any sense of privacy." "How can they live in a room without locks?" "Unbelievable!" "It's because the Japanese way is to consider the priorities and needs of others before one's own." "Misato!" "How are you?" "You two are going to get along real well, right?" "What do you mean?" "This is all preparation for the next operation." "Say what?" "There is only one way to destroy the seventh Angel!" "A simultaneous two-point attack on each target's core while its components are separated." "In other words, an attack by two Evas with synchronized timing." "Cooperation and coordination between you will be paramount." "Therefore, I want the two of you to live together." "No way!" "A boy and girl should never sleep together after the age of seven!" "A boy and girl should never sleep together after the age of seven!" "The Angel is currently restoring itself." "It will begin its second assault in six days, so there's no time." "But it's impossible." "Now, we have a way to make it possible!" "The master attack pattern will be choreographed using this music." "In six days, as soon as possible." "I'm worried about Shinji." "He's been gone three days, right?" "Hey, there's the class rep." "Two of the three stooges." "Why are you here?" "To offer condolences to Miss Sohryu." "What about you two?" "To offer condolences to lkari." "Why did you stop here?" "Yes?" "You've betrayed us!" "You look like two peas in a pod." "I can't believe this!" "Neither can we." "It's all Misato's fault!" "We have to eat, breathe and sleep together!" "You're living in sin!" "How awful!" "No, it's not like that!" "Then, just what is it like?" "Hi, welcome everybody!" "Why don't you explain all this to us?" "You should have told us that first." "How is the coordination coming?" "Well, as you can see." "Well, so much for synchronization!" "I could never sink to the pathetic level this animated turnip lives at!" "If you ask me, this whole idea is impossible!" "Then you give up?" "But you don't have anyone else, do you?" "Rei?" "Yes, Ma'am." "Why don't you try?" "Why don't you try?" "Why don't you try?" "Yes, Ma'am." "It looks like I should alter the operation to pair Shinji and Rei." "No!" "I can't stand this!" "I can't take it anymore!" "Asuka!" "Even the Devil cries sometimes." "Even the Devil cries sometimes." "Ikari!" "You've got to follow her!" "You made her cry!" "It's your fault!" "Well..." "Don't say anything." "Don't say anything." "I know." "I have to pilot the Eva." "I've got no choice." "I'll do it." "No matter what, I'll put Rei and Misato to shame!" "You don't have to squash them." "You're being too simplistic, even if you are a man!" "I must avenge myself." "My pride..." "It's a matter of honor now, you see?" "Where's Misato?" "At work." "She called earlier." "She'll be there all night." "So that means we're all alone tonight." "This is the impenetrable "Wall of Jericho", Third Child." "Take one step over this wall and you'll be a dead man." "And now, it's time for children to go to bed!" "Why do the Japanese sleep on the floor?" "This is so stupid." "Mama..." "Mama..." "You're just a child yourself." "No, somebody will see us." "Who's watching?" "Who's watching?" "Someb..." "No!" "There's nothing between us anymore." "Don't do that again." "But your lips didn't say no." "Which one should I trust?" "Your lips or your words?" "There you go." "Thanks." "You're unusually sober today." "Yeah, a little." "Work?" "Or a man?" "A lot of things." "Still in love?" "Don't be ridiculous!" "Who'd want that idiot?" "!" "I was young, and it's still the biggest blemish on my whole life." "I meant that he may still like you." "Did I scare you?" "Why you lousy..." "You're only proving my hypothesis." "Why don't you go with your feelings?" "It's not like it's still eight years ago." "It hasn't changed." "Not a bit." "He's still immature." "Well, I've got to get to work." "Tomorrow is D-day." "Target has broken through the final defense line at Gora." "Here it comes!" "We won't fail this time!" "Spread your AT fields as soon as the music starts." "Then follow the operation choreography." "Are you two ready?" "Roger!" "The target has entered the mountains." "Just remember Shinji, full power, maximum performance." "I know that." "We'll finish in sixty-two seconds." "Target entering Ground Zero." "Detach external power cables." "Launch." "Confirmation." "Both Evas are operational." "Geez..." "This is pathetic." "You jerk!" "What are you doing on my Unit 02?" "!" "What are you talking about?" "You're the one who fell on me!" "You're the one who lost his timing first!" "You're always so slow!" "What were you doing, staying up so late last night?" "!" "lmage training for today's battle!" "Liar!" "I know you tried to kiss me while I was sleeping!" "You cheat!" "You were awake?" "Oh, my gosh!" "I was just kidding!" "Did you really kiss me?" "!" "No, I didn't!" "I stopped!" "Pervert!" "Fiend!" "ldiot!" "I can't believe this!" "You caused it by calling for your mother and sleepwalking!" "Those kids are embarrassing us again." "The crater of Mount Asama where an unhatched Angel lies." "Misato immediately requests the announcement of an A-1 7." "NERV personnel attempt the first capture of an Angel under top priority circumstances." "An Eva with special equipment challenges the fires of Hell!" "It's an extreme environment of high heat and pressure." "What did Asuka see there?" "It's the next episode:" ""Magma Diver"" "And I'll give you more service!" "Lucky!" "I'm so lucky that I can go shopping with you today, Kaji!" "What the?" "!" "lsn't this the swimsuit section?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "How do you like this?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "How do you like this?" "Slow down, school girl." "You're a little young for that!" "You're just being an old fuddy-duddy, Kaji." "This is what's in fashion these days." "This is what's in fashion these days." "Oh, really?" "I'm anxious about this school trip." "I just know we'll have a great time." "And where are you going for the trip?" "Okinawa!" "We're even scheduled to go scuba diving!" "Scuba diving..." "It's been three years since I've gone diving." "Say, where did you go for your school trip?" "Well, we didn't have one." "Why not?" "Because of the Second Impact." "I can't go on the trip?" "!" "Right." "Why not?" "!" "Why not?" "!" "Because you're on stand-by for combat duty." "You never told me anything about that!" "I just told you." "Who in the hell decided that?" "!" "Me, the Operations Planning Manager." "Hey, why don't you stop slurping that tea, and say something!" "Be a man!" "Actually, I kind of anticipated it would be like this." "And you've already given up?" "How pathetic." "Nothing's more useless than a housebroken male." "Please don't talk about me like that." "I know how you must feel, but there's no other way." "There's always the possibility of an Angel attack while you're gone." "It's always stand-by!" "Stand-by, stand-by, stand-by!" "We've always got to be ready to defend against an enemy who may not even come!" "Why don't you try to find out where they are, and attack first?" "!" "If we could do that, we'd have already done it." "Look, think of this as an opportunity to catch up." "While the rest of your class is on the trip, the two of you can study." "Or do you think I don't know about these?" "If you thought you had to tell me what your test scores were, you made a big mistake." "Finding out what your grades are is quite simple for me." "It's ridiculous." "This school's grades are meaningless!" "The old fashioned grading system used here means nothing to me." "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." "You could at least try to adjust to Japanese school life." "No way!" "Asuka, I'll bring you some souvenirs!" "Well, it's just too bad for you guys!" "Don't feel bad, I'll have enough fun for both of you!" "Post the survey data on Mt." "Asama from Balthasar to Melchior as soon as possible." "A school trip?" "That's pretty casual behavior for times like these." "Well, it's because the times are so hard that they want to have a little fun while they can." "What are you up to?" "Studying physics." "You're such an obedient student, Mr. Big Shot." "Well, I'd have to anyway." "Ta da!" "Since I can't go scuba diving in Okinawa, I'm going to do it here!" "Really?" "What're you working on?" "Let me see." "You can't solve an easy problem like this?" "There!" "Here you go!" "It's so easy." "How can you solve a difficult problem like this, and not make good grades on your tests?" "Because I couldn't figure out what the questions said." "You mean you couldn't read the questions in Japanese?" "Right, I haven't learned all of the Kanji yet." "I didn't have to study it in college." "College?" "Yeah, I graduated last year." "What does this one say?" "It's about thermal expansion." "Thermal expansion?" "That's kid stuff!" "To put it simply, things expand when they get hot, and shrink when they get cold." "Well, it sounds easy enough in theory." "If I were to warm up my breasts, do you think they'd grow bigger?" "How would I know such things?" "!" "You're such a boring little boy." "Watch this, Shinji!" "Back roll entry!" "This just isn't clear enough." "But the report from Mt." "Asama Earthquake Research indicates that we should take a closer look at this shadow." "Of course, we can't ignore this." "What's Magi's judgment?" "Fifty-fifty." "Is someone there yet?" "Captain Katsuragi's already on site." "You've gone too deep." "Not yet." "Descend another 500, please." "Depth 1200." "The pressure resistant partition is cracking." "Ms. Katsuragi!" "If it breaks, we'll pay for the damage. 200 more, please." "We're monitoring a reaction!" "Begin analysis!" "Begin analysis!" "Right!" "The probe has imploded due to the extreme pressure." "Did you get a result?" "Just barely." "The pattern is blue." "Then there's no doubt." "It's an Angel." "From now on, this laboratory will be completely sealed off." "It's under NERV's jurisdiction now!" "Any and all access to the outside world is prohibited." "All records of the events of the past six hours are classified." "I need an A-17 from Commander Ikari, top priority!" "Watch what you're saying." "This is an open line." "I know." "Switch to the scrambled line." "A-17?" "!" "An offensive attack?" "Correct." "Unacceptable, it's too dangerous." "Have you forgotten what happened fifteen years ago?" "This is our chance to move from a defensive posture to an offensive one." "The risk is enormous." "However, I'm sure you're aware how important it is to obtain a living Angel as a sample, aren't you?" "We will not tolerate failure." "Failure?" "If we fail, it will result in the extinction of the human race." "Are you really going to do it?" "This is an Angel?" "Yes, it's something like a chrysalis prior to reaching the adult stage." "This operation's prime objective is to capture this Angel." "We must capture it alive, as close to its original state as possible." "And if we fail?" "Then you must destroy it immediately." "Do you understand?" "Roger!" "The designated pilot for the actual operation is..." "The designated pilot for the actual operation is..." "Hey, let me!" "I dive!" "I know it's going to be me." "Asuka!" "You will carry out the mission using Unit 02." "Sure!" "It'll be easy." "And me?" "Unit 00 does not confrom to the special equipment we'll be using." "Rei and Unit 00 will remain at headquarters on stand-by." "Yes." "Oh, too bad." "Oh, too bad." "You don't get to go to the hot springs." "Now an A-17 has been ordered, we must scramble immediately." "Get ready." "Get ready." "Roger!" "This heat resistant plug suit doesn't seem any different." "Press the switch on your right wrist." "Oh, no!" "What is this?" "Unit 02 is also ready." "No!" "What is this?" "The suit is designed to protect you from heat, pressure and radiation." "This is Type-D equipment, for combat under extreme environmental duress." "Is that my Unit 02?" "No way!" "I quit!" "I don't want to appear in public in this dorky outfit!" "This is the sort of thing Shinji's for!" "I'm so disappointed." "I was anticipating seeing Asuka's gallant figure!" "No!" "Really, I can't let Kaji see me in this awful looking thing." "We're having problems?" "We're having problems?" "Well, yes." "Excuse me, but I can..." "I'll go in Unit 02." "No, I don't want you touching my Unit 02!" "I'd rather do it than let her take my place." "I'm sorry about the look." "Please, forgive me." "Eva Units 01 and 02 have arrived." "Have both units stand-by in position." "Move in the laser bore, and ready the crane." "Roger." "Hey, isn't Kaji here yet?" "That male buffoon won't be here." "It's not any of his business." "Damn!" "I wanted him to see how great I am." "An A-1 7 has been ordered." "That includes the freeze of all current assets." "I assume that means some people will be getting into a bit of trouble." "Why didn't you stop them?" "I had no excuse for stopping it." "This order is an official one." "Surely you must know that if NERV fails, the whole world will perish." "They're not that arrogant." "What are those?" "The U.N. and the Air Force will be on stand-by alert until this mission has been completed." "Will they help us?" "No, they're here to clean up in case we fail." "What do you mean?" "They will use N2 depth charges to destroy the Angel, and us with it." "That's dreadful!" "Who would order something like that?" "Commander Ikari." "Laser operation, complete." "The bore path has been secured." "The Type D equipment is functioning normally." "Unit 02 is in position to dispatch." "Roger." "Asuka, are you ready?" "Anytime you are." "Launch!" "It looks hot!" "Unit 02 is entering the lava." "Watch this, Shinji!" "Giant Stroke Entry!" "Current depth: 170." "Speed of descent: 20." "No problems detected." "Visibility is zero." "I can't see a thing." "Switching to CT monitor." "Even with this, the range of clarity is no more than 120." "Depth is 400... 450... 500... 550... 600... 650..." "900... 950... 1000... 1020..." "We're over the maximum safety depth." "Depth is 1300." "Unit 02 has reached estimated target level." "Asuka?" "Can you see anything?" "No reactions detected." "It's not here." "The lava circulation is faster than we thought." "The target's velocity doesn't match our predictions." "Hurry up and re-calculate." "Continue the operation." "Maintain descent." "Depth is 1350." "1400..." "A crack has occurred in the second coolant pipe." "Depth is 1480." "We're over the maximum allowed depth." "It hasn't contacted the target yet?" "Go on." "How's it going, Asuka?" "I'm okay." "I just want to finish this and take a shower, ASAP." "There's a nice hot springs near here." "We'll hit it once we're done." "Just hang in there just a little longer." "Maximum allowed depth plus 120." "Eva Unit 02 has lost its progressive knife." "Maximum allowed depth plus 200." "Captain Katsuragi, we've got to stop!" "Have you forgotten that there's a human being in there?" "I am in charge of this operation." "Proceed, please." "Misato's right." "I'm okay." "I can go on." "Depth 1780." "Unit 02 has reached the corrected target depth." "There it is!" "Target in sight." "Prepare to capture." "Due to the motion of the currents moving you and the target, you'll have just one chance to make contact." "I know." "Just leave it to me." "30 to contact." "Relative velocity 2.2 on the axis." "Electromagnetic cage spread." "No problems detected." "The target has been captured." "Nice, Asuka." "Operation completed." "I'm coming up now." "Are you all right, Asuka?" "Who do you think you're asking?" "Fear is worse than danger itself." "It was an easy assignment." "But this isn't a plug suit." "It's a sauna suit!" "I want to take a bath." "The tension let loose all at once." "Yeah?" "You were scared about this operation too, weren't you?" "You were scared about this operation too, weren't you?" "Yes, if it'd gone wrong, there might have been another disaster." "Right, Second Impact." "Nobody would want to repeat that again." "What's going on?" "!" "Oh no!" "It's started to hatch!" "It's much earlier than we predicted!" "Status of the cage?" "!" "There's no way it can withstand this!" "Abort the capture!" "Jettison the cage!" "We're changing the operation!" "Destroying the Angel is now top priority!" "Unit 02, withdraw, and prepare for combat!" "This is what I've waited for!" "Damn, I forgot I dropped the knife!" "It's right in front of me!" "Releasing ballast!" "It's fast!" "This is no good." "I've lost it." "In addition to that, I've got lousy visibility, I'm too hot, and this disgusting suit's stuck to my body with sweat." "This really sucks." "Asuka!" "We'll drop you Unit 01's knife." "Catch it!" "Roger!" "Oh, no!" "Have you dropped it, Shinji?" "Contact with knife, 40 seconds." "The Angel is approaching rapidly!" "No!" "Go away!" "Hurry up with it!" "Come on!" "What the hell?" "!" "Unbelievable!" "How could it open its mouth in such an environment?" "lts construction must be incredible!" "The left leg is damaged!" "The heat shields!" "Damn you!" "If it can withstand such a high heat, high pressure environment, then the progressive knife will be useless against it!" "Then what's the solution?" "I know!" "Like the one earlier!" "Eat this!" "I understand!" "Thermal expansion!" "Transfer all coolant pressure to cable three!" "Hurry!" "I've done it, but..." "Is this the end?" "Looks like that's that." "Shinji?" "ldiot!" "What a show off!" "Hello?" "Are the NERV personnel here?" "Yes!" "I need your signature here." "Thanks so much." "From Kaji?" "What is this?" "The bath is over there, to the left." "This feels like heaven." "I never thought a bath could feel this good." "Shinji, can you hear me?" "Yes, Ma'am!" "Would you throw me the body shampoo?" "We ran out of ours." "Here it comes." "Here it comes." "Roger." "Ouch!" "You idiot!" "You dork, watch where you're throwing!" "Sorry." "He hit me in my most essential part!" "Let me take a look." "Wow, your skin is so soft and smooth, Asuka!" "Don't!" "You're tickling me!" "How about right here?" "Don't touch that!" "Come on, what gives?" "It expanded." "How embarrassing!" "Oh, this?" "I got this in the Second Impact." "You know all about my past, don't you?" "Well, yeah." "It's a part of my job." "It's all ancient history now." "We should just forget." "The Angels aren't Commander Ikari's only enemies." "When those displeased with NERV cut off Tokyo-3's power supply, an Angel arrives at NERV HQ to find it completely locked up, with nothing operational." "Can three kids wandering around the underground labyrinth make it to headquarters in time to intercept the Angel?" "It's the next episode:" ""ln the Still Darkness"" "You can expect more service next time too!" "Cool!" "I won a free ice cream bar!" "Boy, the cost of doing laundry has been killing me lately." "I just wish I had the time to wash my clothes for myself." "You should appreciate the fact you can at least sleep at home." "Hello, Vice Commander." "Good morning, Sir." "Good morning, Sir!" "Good morning." "You're quite early today." "Well, I have to go uptown as Ikari's representative." "I see. lsn't today the City Council's regular meeting?" "It's a boring job." "He always forces the most tedious work on me." "Without the Magi's help, I couldn't do it." "Speaking of which, election day is coming up, isn't it?" "The City Council has no authority at all." "Actually, the Magi run everything now." "The Magi?" "You mean the three super computers?" "Government by majority decision of three different computers." "It's a sort of democratic system." "And the council just obeys their decisions?" "It's a most effective form of government." "This truly is a City of Science." "We are fortunate to live in an era when Science reigns supreme." "Talk about old fashioned viewpoints." "Come to think of it, don't you have an experiment to run on Unit 00?" "Yes, we're going to run the second prolonged activation test at 10:30." "I'm expecting good news." "Abort experiment!" "Cut the circuit!" "Switching circuits." "Power supply restored." "This component is the problem again." "Yes." "I think the problem is that the conversion efficiency is 0.008 lower than our theoretical calculations." "It's within the tolerance though, barely." "What are we going to do?" "Let's try it again using the same configuration, but lower the reciprocal conversion rate by 0.01." "Roger." "Now, let's recommence the reactivation experiment." "Now, let's recommence the reactivation experiment." "Hey, hold up!" "Man, I've never had to run this much!" "So, what's with the black expression?" "It's from seeing your loathsome face first thing in the morning." "Yes, hold just a moment please." "What?" "Well, Father..." "What?" "Hurry up." "Well," "I'm supposed to tell my parent that an interview" "for Advanced Vocational Education is going to be held at school." "I've delegated things like that to Captain Katsuragi." "Don't bother me with such nonsense." "Don't forward any more of these calls to..." "What?" "A black out?" "A black out?" "No, it can't be." "It's not possible." "No, it can't be." "It's not possible." "Something's strange." "An accident?" "Perhaps Dr. Akagi made a mistake?" "The main power supply has been interrupted." "Voltage level is zero!" "It's not my fault." "What do you think?" "It'll switch to the backup power supply soon." "No, the backup circuits aren't working." "That can't be." "Which circuits are functioning?" "Only one point two percent!" "Only nine circuits out of 2,567!" "Connect all remaining live circuits to the Magi and Central Dogma." "But that could interfere with life support systems." "Do it!" "That's our top priority!" "This is Nozomu Takahashi, who wants a happier government." "This is Nozomu Takahashi, who wants a happier government." "We need your support for this righteous and honest candidate." "We need your support for this righteous and honest candidate." "Thank you!" "Maybe Commander Ikari was just really busy?" "I doubt it." "It wasn't like he hung up." "It was more like a mechanical failure." "Hey, are you a man or what?" "Stop letting every little incident bother you!" "What?" "What do you think you're doing?" "Here, let me try that!" "Damn!" "It must be broken!" "Heave..." "Ho!" "We'd better head for the command station." "It's been seven minutes and the power hasn't been restored." "This is very unusual." "What's the backup power system here?" "There are three circuits, main, sub and reserve." "It's virtually impossible for all of those to fail at once." "Then that means the circuit breakers didn't go on their own." "Someone must have blown them intentionally." "Regardless of the cause, it would be disastrous if an Angel were to attack right now." "Radar has detected an unidentified object." "Projected landing point is in the former Atami region." "It must be number eight." "I agree, it must be an Angel." "What are we going to do?" "Go to alert status." "That's the procedure, anyway." "This one's destination has to be Tokyo-3." "I agree." "Well, this is no job for us." "The Angel has landed." "It's still advancing." "What about Tokyo-3?" "It's still silent." "What in the hell are those NERV guys doing?" "I never thought I'd actually have to use one of these trap exits." "I thought they were just holdovers kept for our peace of mind." "To provide is to prevent." "This one doesn't work either!" "None of the facilities work." "This is odd." "Could this mean that something's happened down in the Geo-Front?" "It is natural to assume that." "In any case, let's try to make contact with NERV Headquarters." "No, the emergency phones aren't getting through either." "No, there's no answer on Line 77." "No, no response." "Not here either." "So the main and emergency cables are both down." "What do we do now?" "What're you doing?" "What are you, stupid?" "I'm looking for my emergency manual." "Anyway, let's go to NERV Headquarters." "Yeah, but first we'll need to decide who will be group leader." "And naturally, I am the leader." "Any objections?" "Now, let's go." "We can proceed through Route 07, right here." "But the doors don't work." "We can open it manually." "There you go, Shinji." "That's your job." "I don't believe it!" "You want to control everything, but you always defer to me at times like this." "Damn those Joint Staff bastards!" "Always defer to us at times like this." "What does the government say?" "Those Tokyo-2 buttheads?" "They're getting ready to run." "The Angel is still advancing." "In any case, we must contact NERV." "But how?" "By going there yourself." "This is the 3rd District ASDF!" "An unidentified object is moving toward this area." "All residents must evacuate to their designated shelters." "Big trouble!" "I've got to report this to Headquarters!" "But how?" "Remember Takahashi remains calm even in situations like this!" "Please support candidate Takahashi!" "Lucky!" "It's too hot." "Yeah, the air conditioners are out." "Katsuragi, if you're so hot, why don't you take off your shirt?" "There's no reason for shyness between you and me." "Don't even think about trying to take advantage of this situation." "Okay, okay!" "It's getting even worse." "Now, the air is getting stagnant." "Hard to believe this facility represents the most advanced technology on Earth." "But look at the Commander and Vice Commander." "Even in this much heat, they're cool and in command." "It's getting warmer." "...along with the declaration of emergency in this district." "Emergency vehicle!" "Passing through!" "Oh, my!" "Excuse me, it's blocked!" "It's okay!" "Charge!" "This is an emergency!" "Everything is permitted!" "Aye, Sir!" "No!" "Let me off!" "This Geo-Front was designed to be a self-sufficient colony, even when isolated from the outside." "Theoretically, it's impossible for all of the power sources to be shut down at once." "You mean that someone caused it to happen?" "Their purpose would be to map this facility." "So they could determine HQ's structure through the restoration?" "Disrespectful bastards." "I'll run a dummy program through the Magi." "That will make it harder for them to get a complete picture." "I'll leave it to you." "I'll leave it to you." "Yes, Sir." "I can't believe the first havoc wreaked upon our headquarters wasn't caused by an Angel, but by another member of our species." "One of Mankind's greatest enemies is Man himself." "But it usually only takes two minutes." "Are you sure this is the right way?" "Yes, I'm sure!" "If we can get past this point we'll be there." "Haven't I heard that four times already?" "Picky!" "You always focus on the most insubstantial little tidbits." "Silence, please." "What now, Wonder Girl?" "What now, Wonder Girl?" "A man's voice." "Ang......proaching..." "That's Hyuga!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "An Angel is approaching!" "Repeat, an Angel is approaching!" "An Angel?" "!" "We can't waste any more time." "Let's take a short cut." "Hey, I'm the leader!" "Don't take any initiatives without my permission!" "Now then, where is this short cut?" "This may be the quickest way, but we look really stupid." "Say, just what do you think the Angels are?" "Why are you talking about that at a time like this?" "Angels are messengers of God but our enemies are named after them." "So, why are we fighting them?" "What are you, stupid?" "Strange beings started attacking us." "When someone's attacking you, you can't just sit and do nothing." "To the right!" "I think the correct path is to the left." "I think the correct path is to the left." "Stop bothering me!" "What do you think, Shinji?" "Well..." "I'm not sure." "Damn, I'm the leader, so just shut up, and follow me!" "I expected that this would be a little odd." "The path is going up." "What do you mean, "expected"?" "You always nit-pick and worry!" "Look, this has got to be it this time!" "Well, we've visually confirmed the Angel's presence." "Now, we know we have to hurry." "Angel is approaching!" "lmmediate Eva dispatch will be necessary!" "Oh, my gosh!" "Fuyutsuki, take care of the rest of this." "Ikari?" "I will help prepare for the launch in the cage." "Are you serious?" "You mean by hand?" "We have a diesel generator for such emergencies." "But..." "We have no pilots!" "Not again!" "This way." "I've heard that you're the Commander's favorite, aren't you?" "You're a favored smart ass who's treated differently than us." "Stop it!" "This isn't the time for that!" "You've always got that smug look on your face." "Do you think you can act superior just because you're treated better?" "I don't act superior." "And I'm not treated better either." "I know that quite well." "Roger." "Ejection of the termination plug is complete." "Good, prepare to insert the entry plug." "But the pilots aren't here yet." "Don't worry, they'll come." "There's no way I can open this with my hands." "It can't be helped." "We'll have to break into a duct to get through." "This First Child isn't someone to mess with." "She'll do anything to accomplish her objectives." "She's a real self-righteous bitch." "The plug is fixed and ready." "Now, we just have to wait for the kids." "If you dare look forward, I'll kill you!" "You jerk!" "lgnoramus!" "Nincompoop!" "I told you not to look!" "I have to see to go forward!" "Ah, there you are." "Prepare for entry!" "Roger, open the hatches manually." "How are the Evas?" "They're in standby." "How?" "Nothing's working." "It was all done by hand." "It was the Commander's idea." "My father's?" "Commander Ikari believed in you three, and prepared everything." "Plugs inserted." "All units activated using backup power supply." "Remove primary lock bolts." "Hydraulic locks numbers 2 through 32, released." "Zero pressure." "The situation is free." "Go ahead and remove the restraints." "Begin the attack!" "The target has stopped right above us." "Get ready!" "Hurry up!" "The emergency batteries have been installed!" "Well, we're ready." "Launch!" "Geez!" "I look so pathetic!" "We're approaching a vertical shaft." "This is still pathetic." "Watch out!" "Dodge!" "No!" "It appears the target is going to invade HQ using liquid solvent." "What'll we do?" "We're going to beat it, of course." "Sure, but how?" "We dropped our rifles, and the battery packs are running out." "They won't last more than another three minutes." "I have a plan." "One of us will take the defensive position, and stay here." "Their job is to neutralize the Angel's AT Field, and to protect the offensive player from that acid." "The backup player will go down, pick up the rifles, and hand them to the offense." "The offense will then fire a volley to destroy the target." "How does that sound?" "I see, I will take the defense." "Sorry, but it's not you." "It's me." "It's too dangerous!" "That's why." "I'll feel bad if I don't repay you for the one I owe you from last time." "Shinji will be the offense." "Wonder Girl is the backup." "Got it?" "Understood." "Here we go!" "CHARGE!" "Ayanami!" "Asuka, get out of the way!" "Now, we're even." "Oh, damn it!" "Why doesn't it open?" "!" "This is a desperate situation!" "I've got to go to the bathroom!" "Hey, I told you not to look up!" "Okay!" "Yes, Ma'am!" "Disgusting..." "It's ironic." "Without electricity and artificial light, the sky looks so beautiful." "But without the lights, it's as if there were no humans there." "See?" "I feel much more comfortable this way." "Man has always feared the Darkness, so he scrapes away at its edges with fire." "He creates life by diminishing the Darkness." "A philosopher!" "Is that what makes Mankind a special species?" "Is that why the Angels keep attacking us?" "What are you, stupid?" "Who knows what they think?" "Misato's results are evaluated, and she is promoted to Major." "However, her career has been a crusade to exterminate the Angels." "When Misato tells Shinji of her past, he finds a similar sentiment within himself." "The largest Angel yet comes flying though the stratosphere, making many people abandon all hope." "It's the next episode:" ""The Value of a Miracle is..."" "Again, watch it with your friends." "Father..." "Thanks, Shinji, you really saved us from that rainstorm." "Where's Misato?" "I guess she must still be asleep." "She's been working all night recently." "That's right, she has a tough job." "We've got to be quiet." "Don't wake her up." "What are you doing in here?" "!" "Taking shelter from the rain." "You guys are after me, aren't you?" "Well, I'm changing and if you peep, I'll kill you!" "Shut up, idiot!" "Who would want to see you changing clothes?" "!" "She's way too self-conscious." "Sorry for disturbing you!" "Hi, how's it going?" "Shinji, don't be late tonight, we're having a harmonics test." "Right." "Did you hear that, Asuka?" "Yes, Ma'am!" "Congratulations on your promotion!" "Congratulations!" "Thank you." "You're most welcome." "See you later." "See you!" "What's up?" "Did something happen to Misato?" "Didn't you see her badge?" "The number of lines increased to two." "That means that she's been promoted from Captain to Major." "Really?" "I didn't notice that." "Yeah, I wonder when..." "Are you serious?" "What a bunch of dweebs!" "Haven't you got any sympathy?" "Don't you know how hard it is to foster two jr. high kids at her age?" "We're the only ones who have some human compassion." "Units 00 and 02 are both on the edge of the contamination zone." "They've reached their limit." "Unit 01 can still tolerate a little more though, can't he?" "Lower the graph depth another 0.3." "He's almost reached the contamination zone." "And he's still getting these readings?" "He's wonderful." "His harmonics and sync ratio are rapidly catching up with Asuka's." "It is a talent, isn't it?" "He was born to pilot an Eva, wasn't he?" "Not that he wants to." "I know he's not happy." "Test completed." "Good work." "Excellent work, Shinji." "What do you mean?" "Your harmonics value increased by eight points since the last test." "That's very good." "But still it's fifty points lower than mine!" "Yes, but he increased it by eight points in only ten days." "That's really something." "It's not so great!" "Are you happy with your little praise?" "I'm going home now!" "ldiot!" "Congratulations on your promotion." "Thanks." "But I'm not really all that thrilled." "I understand." "I'm not happy when I get praised either, like earlier." "All it does is make Asuka angry." "I don't know why she gets so mad." "That bothers you?" "Yes." "That's because you always watch everyone else's faces." "Congratulations!" "Thanks, guys!" "Thank you, Mister Suzuhara." "No, no." "This wasn't my brainchild, it was this guy right here." "That's right!" "I, Kensuke Aida was the planner!" "Thank you, Mister Aida." "Oh, you're welcome!" "But it's not such a big deal, really." "By the way, why is the class rep here?" "Because I invited her." "Right?" "Rei too?" "Yes, I invited her, but that girl is one strange customer." "Darn, why is Mister Kaji so late?" "Oh, is Mister Kaji that really cool guy?" "Oh, yeah!" "He's so much better than these dweebs that it's like night and day." "It's an insult to compare him to them." "What did you say?" "!" "How dare you?" "Is it still difficult for you to be here in this kind of situation?" "I'm okay." "I'm just not used to being with so many people." "Why do they have to make so much noise like that?" "Your promotion..." "That means someone noticed the work you've been doing, right?" "Yeah, I suppose." "That's why they're happy." "But you don't look very happy at all." "Oh, I'm happy." "I am." "But that's not the reason I work here." "Then why did you join NERV?" "Well, I don't remember." "It's been a long time since then." "That's got to be Kaji!" "I came directly from HQ." "We just happened to meet on the way." "That's rather suspicious." "Hey, are you jealous?" "Absolutely not." "Anyhow, I'd like to give you my fondest regards, Major Katsuragi." "I suppose I'll have to be polite to you from now on." "What are you trying to say, you jerk?" "It's unprecedented for both the Commander and Vice-Commander to leave Japan together." "I guess they must really count on old Katsuragi here." "My father's not here?" "Commander Ikari is at the South Pole at the moment." "Nothing living can exist in the world of death we call Antarctica." "Or should I simply call it Hell?" "Nevertheless, we, Mankind, are here." "We're living things, and we're alive." "That's because we're under the protection of science." "Science is the power of Man." "That arrogance is what caused the tragedy of fifteen years ago, the Second Impact." "And here is the end result." "This is a greater punishment than we deserve." "This is the real Dead Sea." "Yet this is a world that has been purified, purged of the original sin." "I'd rather live in a world where people can live, no matter how stained with sin." "Report from the bridge." "Telegram received from NERV Headquarters." "An Angel has been detected in orbit above the Indian Ocean." "The Angel appeared suddenly, two minutes ago." "Send Search Satellite Number 6 to that orbit." "T-minus two minutes to contact." "The target has been sighted." "That's impressive." "I don't believe it." "Satellite Number 6 is closing for contact with the target." "Start data search." "Data transmission commencing." "Reception confirmed." "Was that an AT Field?" "It's a new way of using it." "What incredibly destructive power." "That's an AT Field!" "It uses kinetic energy too." "This Angel is, itself, like a huge bomb." "In any case, the first blast missed its target and hit the Pacific." "Two hours later, the second shot struck there." "Since then, it has been steadily correcting the error ratio." "That means it's learning." "An N2 air bomb had no effect on it." "The Angel has been missing since then." "It's probably coming here." "Yes, and next time it may drop itself." "So, that will give us a third Ashinoko lake?" "All five Fuji lakes will be fused into a single body linked to the Pacific, destroying this Headquarters in the process." "Can we reach the Commander?" "It's impossible due to the Angel's powerful jamming." "What is the Magi's judgment?" "They unanimously agree in recommending evacuation." "What will you do?" "You're the one who's in charge of all this now." "Notify all of the ministries concerned of this D-17 Declaration as provided for by NERV's authority." "All residents within radius of 50km are to evacuate immediately." "Also, ask Matsushiro to backup the Magi." "Are we going to evacuate as well?" "No, but it's not necessary to place everyone at risk." "A D-17 Special Declaration has been made by the government." "All residents must evacuate to their designated locations." "Beginning with the 6th and 7th blocks, move according to your district chief's direction immediately." "The evacuation of the city is complete." "The evacuation of noncombatant and D Class personnel by Alarm C has been completed." "Are you serious?" "Yes, I am." "You'll risk all three Evas with your irresponsible selfishness?" "The chance of success is only 0.00001 %!" "That's not even one in ten thousand!" "It's not zero." "I just trust the Evas." "Major Katsuragi!" "I'm in charge." "I have to do what I have to do, and destroying Angels is my duty." "Your duty?" "You must be kidding." "This is for your own sake, isn't it?" "This is just your revenge against the Angels!" "Catch it in our hands?" "That's right." "We'll position the Evas in the estimated drop zone." "You'll catch it while maintaining your AT Fields at full strength." "What if the Angel doesn't come down where you expect it to?" "We'll be a little put out." "What if the Evas aren't able to withstand the shock?" "We'll be put out in that case too." "What's our probability of success?" "God only knows." "I have no idea." "If we succeed, it'll be a miracle." "It's not until we've done all we can to cause a miracle that it becomes viable." "You mean, we've got to be willing to sacrifice ourselves?" "I'm sorry, but we have no other options for this operation." "How can you call this an operation?" "!" "No, you can't really call it that." "You can refuse to do it, if you wish." "So, are you okay with this?" "Regulations say you're supposed to write a will." "Have you done so?" "I don't need to." "I'm not going to die just yet." "Neither do I." "There is no use for it." "Not me, either." "Again, I'm sorry." "But once this is over, I'll treat you all to a steak dinner." "What?" "Really?" "What?" "Really?" "I promise." "I promise." "Yeah!" "Don't forget!" "Don't forget!" "You can count on it." "I guess she thinks a steak dinner is supposed to impress us." "Does she really think a steak dinner will impress us?" "The Second Impact generation has really cheap standards." "She can't help it." "What was with that fake cheer you made?" "I just wanted to make her feel a little easier about it." "Now, since she's going to treat us," "I'd better figure out where to go." "You've got to join us this time." "No, I won't." "Why not?" "I dislike meat." "Because of the Angel's ECM jamming, we've lost track of it." "Since it's impossible to calculate the collision point exactly, the Magi's estimated a drop zone based on the data that had been collected before it was lost." "This is it." "The range is this wide?" "The range is this wide?" "The distance from one side to the other is enormous." "Given the size of the target's AT Field, it could totally annihilate HQ by hitting any of these locations." "Given that, we'll disperse the Evas at each of these three points." "And on what grounds is this dispersal based?" "lntuition." "lntuition?" "Yes, a woman's intuition." "How sloppy!" "Our miracle is getting farther and farther away." "Misato has never won the lottery." "Say..." "What?" "What?" "Asuka, why do you pilot an Eva?" "To exhibit my talent to the world, of course." "You mean to prove that you exist?" "Yeah, more or less." "You're not going to ask her?" "I've asked Ayanami before." "My, how intimate the two of you are." "It's not like that." "Now, what about you, Shinji?" "I don't know." "You don't know?" "What are you, stupid?" "Maybe I am." "I suppose you really are." "Twenty minutes to estimated time of impact." "You must all evacuate now." "I can take care of this myself." "No, this is our job as well." "That's right." "We can't let the kids risk their lives by themselves." "They'll be fine." "No matter how badly the Evas might be damaged, their AT Fields will protect them." "Inside an Eva is the safest place to be." "Shinji, yesterday you asked me why I joined NERV." "My father was a man who lived for his research, for his dreams, to the exclusion of all else." "I could never forgive him for that." "In fact, I even hated him." "Just like my father." "He never took care of me, my mother or the family." "His friends always said he was very sensitive and delicate." "But the truth was that he was just a weak person who didn't want to face reality, the reality called his family." "He was like a kid." "So I agreed with my mother when she decided to divorce him, because she was always crying." "He was depressed about it, but I laughed at him because he deserved what he got." "But he sacrificed himself to save my life during the Second Impact." "Then, I didn't know whether I hated him or loved him." "The only thing that was clear to me was I wanted to destroy the Angels who caused the Second Impact." "So, in order to do that, I joined NERV." "It might be that I still hate him, and just want to avenge my father, so that I can free myself of him." "I mustn't run away." "I mustn't run away." "I mustn't run away." "Right!" "I must NOT run away." "The Target has been sighted at maximum magnification." "Distance is approximately 25,000." "Here it is." "All Evas, start your engines." "All we have is a rough estimated trajectory from optical sightings." "So the Magi will guide you until the distance is 10,000 meters." "After that, you'll have to use your own judgment." "I'm placing my trust in you." "The Angel is approaching, distance 20,000." "Commence operation." "Here we go!" "Start!" "Distance 12,000!" "AT Field, full spread!" "Unit 02!" "Spread your field!" "I'm doing it!" "Do it now!" "Our wireless communications have been restored." "We're receiving a message from Commander Ikari in Antarctica." "Connect him here." "Connect him here." "Yes, Ma'am." "I'm very sorry, Sir." "My irresponsible judgment, has caused Unit 01 to incur damage." "It was completely my fault." "That is not a problem." "Destroying Angels is the Evas' purpose." "It was fortunate that the amount of damage was minimal." "Excellent work, Major Katsuragi." "Thank you, Sir." "And on that subject, is the pilot of Unit 01 there?" "Yes!" "I've received the report." "Good work, Shinji." "Right!" "Now, Major Katsuragi, I'll leave the rest of this in your hands." "Yes, Sir." "Next station is New Miyanoshita, New Miyanoshita." "The exit will switch to the left side at the next station." "Now, you're going to have to fulfill your promise." "Of course!" "I've withdrawn enough I can even pay for a full French dinner." "Although, before payday comes along again..." "Take it easy, we know how poor you are." "This'll be fine." "And even Wonder Girl says she'll join us for ramen noodles." "I'll have a garlic ramen with no roast pork." "I'll have shark-fin soup ramen with roast pork." "Large!" "There you go!" "Say, Misato?" "What?" "When I heard my father's words today," "I think I finally understood the good part of being praised by someone." "And I also realized that the reason I pilot my Eva is to hear those words from him." "That's why you're a pilot?" "You really are an idiot." "The Magi are a trio of super computers that command all of NERV Headquarters." "They're ordinarily inspected by Technical Division 1 following each simulated plug activation." "But then trouble occurs, and all of the underground facilities, and even Central Dogma itself, are invaded." "Finally, NERV is forced to accept a course of self-destruction." "It's the next episode:" ""Angel Invasion"" "And expect service and more fan service!" "Apotheosis for the three Evas will be performed as soon as the magi system is reactivated." "Operation confirmed." "Steps 450 through 670 are omitted." "Command has granted approval." "You're fast, Maya, that's what makes you you!" "Of course, I am." "You trained me." "Wait a second, A-8 would be faster there." "Let me do that." "Well, she was my teacher." "How's it going?" "Are you finished giving the magi their check-up?" "Almost done." "As promised, it'll be over before today's test begins." "You're something else, Ritsuko." "You have three impossible tasks, yet you still beat the schedule." "That one's cold." "All three magi systems have entered self-diagnostic mode." "The 127th routine maintenance has been completed." "Confirmed." "Well done, guys." "Take a break until the test begins." "Everything checked out." "As usual, mother's in good shape, but..." "Is it just me getting older?" "You want me to take off my clothes again?" "The next chamber is an ultra-clean room environment." "Just taking a shower and changing your undergarments is insufficient." "Why do I have to go through all this for a simple autopilot test?" "With the advance of time, Eva technology also needs to advance." "To do so, we need a constant influx of new data." "All right, I'm here, just the way you wanted." "Butt-naked and run through the wash cycle seventeen times." "Now, I want all three of you to stay that way as you walk through the room and board the entry plug." "Don't worry." "The video recorders have been shut off." "We do respect your privacy." "That isn't the point!" "This is a very personal thing!" "This test's purpose is to remove interference from your plug suits, and monitor the harmonics directly from your bodies." "Asuka, that's an order." "All right!" "But I don't want anybody peeking, okay?" "All pilots are ready for entry." "Start the test." "Beginning the test. initiate autopilot recording." "lnserting simulation plug." "Connecting simulation bodies to the system." "The simulation plugs are now under the magi's control." "Wow, that was really fast!" "The magi are magnificent!" "It's hard to believe that the first experiment took a whole week." "According to the schedule, the test will end in three hours." "How do you feel?" "It feels odd." "Yes, it's different from the other times." "Something's wrong with my senses." "My right arm is all I can feel clearly." "Everything else is fuzzy." "Rei, imagine moving your right hand." "Yes, Ma'am." "Data collection is proceeding nicely." "Everything seems good so far." "Return the magi to their normal state." "A dilemma..." "You can sure feel the creator's personality, can't you?" "What are you talking about?" "You created them, didn't you?" "You don't know anything, do you?" "That's because you never talk about yourself like I do, Ritsuko!" "That's true." "I just created the system uplinks." "The one who developed the basic theorems and the main frame was my mother." "Are you double checking this?" "Yes, I am." "These are the parts that were brought in three days ago." "These are the parts that are showing signs of deterioration." "The 87th protein wall." "With magnification, you can see some of the spots." "Can you tell me what it is?" "It's got to be corrosion." "It's got to be corrosion." "There are slight variations in the temperature and conduction rates." "Deterioration of sterilized rooms happens a lot, an awful lot lately." "The construction schedule was cut by about sixty days." "It's possible that some air bubbles may have gotten inside." "There are a lot of flaws in the construction of B Wing." "This building was built after the Angels appeared, remember?" "You can't blame anyone." "Everybody was so exhausted then." "Take care of it by tomorrow." "Otherwise, lkari will be jumping all over our asses for it." "Understood." "Another water leak?" "No, it's some kind of corrosion in the protein wall above this floor." "Wonderful." "Could it have any effect on this test?" "No, not at the moment." "Then, let's continue." "We can't abort experiments due to minor technical problems." "Otherwise, Commander Ikari will be jumping all over our asses." "Understood." "Synchronization position is correct." "Connecting the simulation plugs to the Evas via the simulation bodies." "Contact with Eva Unit 00 has been confirmed." "AT Field will be generated on two." "What's happening?" "!" "We've got a contamination alert in the Sigma unit on A Floor." "We've got a contamination alert in the Sigma unit on A Floor." "The 87th protein wall is corroding and releasing heat." "We've detected an abnormality in the 6th pipe as well." "Corrosion of the protein wall is increasing at an incredible rate!" "Abort the experiment." "Shut off the 6th pipe." "Right!" "Numbers 60, 38 and 39 are all closed." "Corrosion has occurred in 6-42." "No effect!" "Corrosion is spreading along the walls." "Prepare the polysomes." "Set laser power at maximum." "Shoot the invasive particles." "Corrosion has reached 6-58." "It's here!" "Rei!" "Rei's simulation body is moving." "lmpossible!" "The corrosion is still spreading." "It's invading the simulation bodies' active water system." "How's Rei?" "!" "She's all right." "Eject all plugs immediately." "Eject all plugs immediately." "Hurry up with that laser!" "An AT Field?" "!" "lmpossible!" "What is it?" "The pattern analysis is blue." "There's no question." "It's an Angel." "An Angel?" "!" "You let an Angel get inside?" "I'm sorry, Sir." "This isn't the time for excuses." "I want a physical shut down of Central Dogma." "lsolate it from Sigma Unit." "lnitiating physical shut down of Central Dogma." "lsolating from Sigma Unit." "Abandon this unit!" "Evacuate immediately!" "Abandon this unit!" "Evacuate immediately!" "What the hell are you doing?" "Hurry!" "lsolating Sigma Unit from B Floor." "Closing all partitions." "All area personnel must evacuate." "I know." "Please take care of it." "Stop the alarm." "Stopping the alarm, Sir." "Stopping the alarm, Sir." "This is a malfunction, an error in the alarm system." "Report that to both the Japanese government and the committee." "Yes, Sir!" "The contaminated area is still descending." "It's spreading all over Sigma Unit from the Pribnow Box!" "That's a critical area." "Yes, it's too close to Adam." "Yes, it's too close to Adam." "Stop the corrosion within Sigma Unit!" "If necessary, sacrifice the Geo Front." "What's the Evas' status?" "Ready in seventh cage." "We can launch them as soon as the pilots are recovered." "There's no need to wait for the pilots." "Launch them immediately." "Launch Unit 01 first." "Sacrifice the other two if necessary." "Unit 01 has top priority?" "But Sir, we can't destroy the Angel without the Evas." "If the Evas are contaminated first, we'll be finished." "Hurry!" "Roger!" "All of Central Dogma under Sigma Unit will be shut down in sixty seconds." "So that's the Angel." "Time to take a break." "Central Dogma has been completely sealed." "Mega-depth facilities are entirely occupied by the intruder." "Well now, how will we fight off an Angel without an Eva?" "Look, this is the border between the normal and heavy water." "There's a higher level of oxygen here." "Their preference is pretty obvious." "The place where ozone is vented in to maintain aseptic conditions isn't contaminated." "So does that mean that its weakness is ozone?" "It would seem so." "lnjecting ozone." "Ozone concentration is increasing." "It's working, all right." "Will this work?" "Zero A and Zero B seem to be recovering." "The area around the pipes is getting back to normal." "The central portion is proving a little more difficult." "All right, inject more ozone." "This isn't right." "What?" "It's increasing?" "Something is wrong." "Heat levels are increasing." "The contaminated area is spreading again." "The ozone is no longer having any effect." "Now it's absorbing the ozone." "Stop the ozone injection!" "Amazing..." "It's evolving." "What's wrong?" "Something's hacking into the sub-computer." "Something's hacking into the sub-computer." "The intruder hasn't been identified." "Not now!" "Dealing with C-mode." "Unfreeze the barrier." "Open a decoy entry." "Decoy entry has been avoided." "T-minus eighteen seconds to completion of trace." "T-minus eighteen seconds to completion of trace." "Spreading barrier." "Barrier has been penetrated." "Open another false entry." "No human being could do this." "Trace complete." "The hacker is inside this facility!" "It's in B-Wing, in the Pribnow Box!" "Optical pattern is changing." "Those glowing lines look like electronic circuits." "This is just like a computer." "Opening decoy entry." "It failed." "There's interference." "Cut off the main cable." "Negative, it refuses to accept the command." "Fire the laser." "It's generating an AT Field." "No effect." "It's generating an AT Field." "No effect." "It is accessing the main security bank." "It's cracking the pass code." "Twelfth digit... sixteenth digit..." "D word has been cleared!" "It's broken into the main banks!" "It's reading the main bank." "We can't stop it." "What does it want?" "Scanning the main directories." "This code is... my God!" "It's going after the magi!" "Shut down I/O system." "Countdown!" "Three..." "Two..." "One!" "We can't shut it down!" "The Angel is intruding further into the computers." "It's made contact with Melchior." "It's no good!" "The Angel is taking over Melchior." "Melchior is being re-programmed by the Angel." "Melchior's self-destruct has been initiated." "Overruled." "Overruled." "Overruled." "Overruled." "Overruled." "Overruled." "Overruled." "Overruled." "Melchior is hacking into Balthasar!" "Damn, it's too fast!" "What calculation speed!" "Change the logic mode." "Change synchronization code to every fifteen seconds." "Roger!" "How much time did we buy?" "At least two hours, I think." "The magi have become our enemy." "This Angel must be composed of a group of micro-machines, each the size of a virus." "These micro-machines group together to form colonies." "In a very short period of time, they have exponentially evolved to form a sophisticated intelligence circuit." "Evolved..." "Evolved..." "Yes." "They're continuously changing themselves to form the best system to cope with any environment." "That's their survival mechanism as a life form." "Against an enemy that evolves to overcome its weaknesses the only effective counter measure is to eliminate the host and let the parasite die with it." "The only option is to order the magi to commit suicide." "I propose the physical elimination of the magi." "That's impossible." "Destroying the magi means destroying headquarters itself." "Then I officially request it on behalf of the Operations Division." "I reject it." "This is a matter for the Technology Department." "Why are you being so mule-headed?" "!" "This situation is a result of my carelessness." "Why do you always have to be like this?" "You always take the responsibility on your own shoulders and avoiding depending on anyone." "As long as this Angel keeps evolving, we have a chance." "Expedite its evolution?" "Yes." "The end of evolution is self-destruction." "Death itself." "Thus, we just need to accelerate its evolution." "If the Angel considers it the only practical means of survival, it may choose to co-exist with the magi system." "But how?" "If the Angel is a computer itself, we can counter-hack it by connecting Casper to the Angel and uploading a self-destruct program, but..." "At the same time, we'll be turning off the barrier to the Angel." "So either Casper or the Angel, whichever is faster, will win." "Yes." "Will the program be ready in time?" "Will the program be ready in time?" "If Casper is taken over first, it'll all be over." "I keep my promises." "Red alert!" "Red alert!" "An emergency has occurred in NERV Headquarters." "All D-class personnel must evacuate." "What are those?" "These are notes left by the developer." "My gosh!" "These are access codes!" "MAGl's access codes!" "It's like a special map to all of the magi's back doors." "Am I allowed to see these?" "I can't believe it!" "This is lNT-C!" "With these we can program much faster than we thought!" "Thank you, Mom." "We can make it." "Give me the wrench." "Doesn't this remind you of our college days?" "Now, board number twenty-five." "Hey, how about telling me about the magi?" "Just a little?" "It's a long story." "A long, boring story." "Do you know about personality transplant OS?" "Yes, it's for implanting an individual's personality into a seventh generation computer so it can think." "The same technology is used for operating the Evas." "I've heard MAGl's programming used one of the first test subjects." "My mother developed the technology." "So, it was her personality that was transplanted?" "Right!" "In a very real sense, these brains are my mother." "Is that why you wanted to protect the magi?" "I don't think so." "I didn't really like my mom." "This was a decision as a scientist." "It's starting!" "Balthasar is being taken over!" "The self-destruct sequence has been initiated by the computer." "Has it begun yet?" "!" "Destruct will be triggered twenty seconds after all three Al consent." "Destruct will be triggered twenty seconds after all three Al consent." "Destruction will encompass Geoid Depth -280, -1 40 and Floor 0." "Special Command 582 requires the consent" "Special Command 582 requires the consent" "Balthasar is now invading Casper!" "of two computers to cancel the action." "What speed!" "T-minus twenty to self-destruct." "My God!" "Casper will be taken over in eighteen seconds." "Casper will be taken over in eighteen seconds." "T-minus fifteen to self-destruct." "Ritsuko, hurry!" "No problem." "I've got almost one whole second to spare." "Only one?" "!" "Only one?" "!" "At least it's not a zero or a minus." "At least it's not a zero or a minus." "7... 6..." "Maya!" "We can do it!" "4... 3... 2..." "Hit it!" "1..." "Zero." "Self-destruct has been canceled by the computer." "All right!" "Special Command 582 is also canceled." "Special Command 582 is also canceled." "The magi are returning to normal mode." "The red alert has been canceled." "The red alert has been canceled." "All hands return to first stage alert." "All hands return to first stage alert." "Jeez, I can't get out with no clothes on!" "Somebody, help me fast!" "Sigma Unit released." "T-minus zero three to MAGl reactivation." "I'm getting old." "Staying up for these all-nighters is rough." "You kept your promise again." "Good job." "Thank you." "This is the first time I've ever really appreciated your coffee." "The night before she died, my mother told me that the magi are three aspects of herself." "Herself as a scientist." "Herself as a mother." "Herself as a woman." "The three aspects of her struggle for dominance inside the magi." "She intentionally implanted the dilemmas of human experience." "Actually, each of the three programs are slightly different." "I don't think I'll ever be a mother, and I don't really understand her as a mother." "I respected her as a scientist." "However, as a woman, I hated her." "You're rather talkative today." "Only sometimes." "Casper contains the program of her as a woman." "She stayed a woman to the last." "How totally like my mother." "SEELE is the secret organization that manipulates both NERV and the Human Instrumentality Project." "With lkari, they verify the events of both the past and present." "Are the Angel attacks and lkari's behavior actually reenactments of the Dead Sea Scrolls?" "Is every phenomenon simply following a prescribed scenario?" "Is human hope even projected?" "It's the next episode:" ""SEELE, Throne of Souls"" "And there'll be more fan service next time too!"
