not only can it independently exert autonomous control,
but it can even exert an A.T. field while unmanned.
It's supposed to be more humane than forcing children to pilot.
There's just something about that new Dummy System thing that doesn't sit well with me!
It's something that was tightly sealed and sent directly here from Golgotha Base,
so none of us know what it really is.
I can't understand why they'd let something so dangerous control EVA!
You're saying that the control of EVA should be left to humans?
You really trust Shinji-kun a lot.
Actually, you trust him because
That aside, could you give me some intel regarding SEELE, our higher-ups?
If it's thate talking about, I suggest you pursue it no further.
I can't do that.
The Human Instrumentality Project...
What on Earth is NERV is doing behind the scenes?
Well...
I don't really know, either.
It's been so long since we've dined together, but all we talk about is work.
Unlike when we were college students.
We've learned many things, and carry more burdens.
And so, the both of us can no longer be selfish.
Shinji-kun and the others have been made to carry much larger burdens.
Yeah. It's too big of a burden for kids to carry.
But, we have no choice but to rely on them.
Hello.
Yeah yeah, I know.
I'll give you an answer before the day ends.
Is that Ricchan?
Yeah.
She keeps urging me to decide on the test pilot for Unit 03.
That's because personnel selection is your responsibility.
That's true, but the test date was rescheduled due to delays with Unit 03's arrival.
And it just had to be that day, of all days...
Unit 03's activation test date...
Isn't that also the date of that pet's meal party?
I see. Asuka it is, then.
Yes, I'll take the last flight to Matsushiro.
Take care of things while I'm gone, Maya.
Yes, Ma'am!
Umm, Dr. Akagi?
There's something I want to say to the Second Child.
Please.
You have one new voice message.
This is the first voice message.
Okay, Rei. You can speak now.
Thank you.
Hmph! Is she stupid?!
It was just me wanting to pilot an EVA!
If I end up liking Unit 03, please paint it red for me.
Good morning, Aida-kun!
Sup.
Huh? Where's Touji?
His sister is being discharged from Odawara Hospital today.
I see.
Touji has a message for you.
"There's no need to worry. My sister also appreciates it."
Ikari, isn't this just great?
Yeah.
Aren't you visiting Ayanami today?
I'm so jealous!
The director of the EVA Unit 03 manned activation test has arrived.
She is currently heading to the control room.
Checks for the Provisional Ground Cage and the Restraint Systems are complete.
Begin Umbilical Cord connection.
Connector attachment confirmed.
Switchover to the main power source complete.
Internal voltage has cleared the required threshold.
Entry plug has been fixed in entry position.
Checklist clear through 1350. No problems.
Roger. Begin countdown.
Begin countdown.
All ground crew are to evacuate.
Medical examinations of test pilot complete.
The pilot is currently on standby in the mobile isolation room.
Looks like I can leave the rest to Ritsuko now.
The secret line? Asuka?
What is it, Asuka? Calling right before the test?
I just wanted to talk to you for some reason, Misato.
I see. I haven't properly thanked you for doing this yet, so...
Thank you.
You don't have to thank me.
It's simply the duty of the elite to protect the ignorant masses.
I mean, having a meal with everyone was never really my thing.
Pretending to have fun with the others will only wear me out.
I don't want to see others be happy.
I should just pilot EVA.
I've always liked being alone.
I never needed close friends.
There's never been anyone who sees me for who I really am.
As long as I get top scores in this test, I can deal with eating alone at NERV.
Though, recently I've been thinking that it's nice to be around others.
It's not like me to say that, though...
That's not true.
You're a kind girl, Asuka.
You're the first person I've said this to, Misato.
Somehow, I feel better now.
It feels good to talk to others.
I never knew...
This world is full of interesting things you have yet to know about.
Look forward to them.
Yeah, I will.
Thanks, Misato.
By the way, I like the red color,
but isn't this Test Plug Suit...
a little too revealing?
Start entry.
Ionizing LCL. Pressure is at normal levels.
First excitation state is being maintained.
No problems with the plug sensor.
Diagnostic values are within error ranges.
Roger. Move on to Phase 2.
Begin secondary connection.
I see.
I can actually smile.
Plug depth is over 100.
The risk of mental contamination has exceeded critical levels.
Why, all of a sudden?!
Plug depth has exceeded safety levels!
Restrain it!
If this continues, the pilot will no longer be human!
Abort the test! Cut the circuits!
No good. A high-energy reaction from within the body!
It can't be...
An Angel?!
What?
An explosion incident at Matsushiro?
What's the extent of the damage?
Unknown.
It seems that the explosion was centered on the provisional test cage.
We've confirmed the destruction of the ground control facilities.
Send rescue teams and the Third Battalion to the rescue.
Take care of everything before the JSSDF intervenes.
Roger.
Unknown mobile object detected south-west of the blast site.
Pattern orange.
Unable to confirm whether it is an Angel.
Battle Stations One.
Ikari?
All personnel, Battle Stations One.
Place the damaged Unit 00 on standby.
Fit Unit 01 with the Dummy Plug and send it out immediately.
Tank Troop Five is positioned at the 18th defense perimeter.
Two minutes until connection of the main power extension cable is complete.
Deployment of the support strike force is complete.
Umm... how are Misato-san, Asuka, and the others?
We are currently doing our best to rescue them.
Don't worry.
But... Misato-san and the other EVAs aren't with me.
I can't do this alone!
There won't be problems with the chain of command.
Commander Ikari himself has taken charge.
Father?
We have visual confirmation near the Toomi area.
Transferring to the main monitor.
We should've known.
Transmit the deactivation signal.
Eject the entry plug by force.
It's no good!
It's not recognizing the deactivation signal or the ejection code!
A core-like invasive structure around the entry plug area has been confirmed.
Analysis pattern complete.
It's blue.
Evangelion Unit 3 is hereby abandoned.
Reclassify the target as the Ninth Angel.
Target is approaching.
Prepare for ground combat.
Anti-invasion team, begin attack.
What? That can't be...
An Angel? Is that an Angel?!
That's right. That's our target.
Our target?
But isn't that an EVA?
No way...
The target is approaching.
You are to defeat it.
But, even though that's the target...
Isn't Asuka still inside?
Asuka...
Damn it...
An entry plug...
So she is in it!
The armor is being contaminated at the cervical vertebrae block!
Contamination has been confirmed to have reached Layer 6,200!
So it's a contamination-type Angel...
That's bad.
The A.T. field of Unit 01 is unstable.
Life support systems are failing.
The pilot's life will be in danger if this continues!
We can't let this happen. Cut the synchronization down to 28 percent!
Wait.
But, Ikari, if this continues the pilot will die.
Shinji, why aren't you fighting?
But Asuka's still inside, Father!
Doesn't matter. That thing is an Angel.
Our enemy.
But, I can't!
I can't bring myself to kill someone!
Then you'll die.
Fine!
It's better than killing Asuka!
Don't worry about him.
Cut all synchronization between the pilot and Unit 01.
Ikari?
Cut them?
That's right.
Switch control over to the Dummy System.
But, there are still many problems with the Dummy System,
and without Dr. Akagi's directions, I...
It'll be of more use than the current pilot.
Do it!
Understood.
What's this?
What are you doing, Father?!
Control system transfer complete.
All neural circuits have been connected to the Dummy System.
Dummy System has at most 208 seconds of active time remaining.
Doesn't matter.
Release the system. Commence the attack.
Is this the power of the Dummy System?
Dummy system nominal.
Control limiters are being removed.
What is this, Father...
What is this? What are you doing?!
Damn it, stop, stop!
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop...
What's that sound?
No, stop!
STOP!
I'm alive?
Kaji?
That's good, Katsuragi.
How's Ritsuko?
Don't worry.
Her injuries aren't as bad as yours.
I see.
What about Asuka? EVA Unit 03?
It's been dealt with as an Angel.
By Unit 01.
The linking circuits of Unit 01 have been cut.
And the ejection signal?
It's locked from inside the plug.
He's locked himself in.
That's enough, Shinji-kun!
Think about what you're doing!
Don't make me any angrier with those words.
There are still 285 seconds remaining on Unit 01.
With this, I can destroy half of Headquarters.
In his current state, chances are he'll do it.
Shinji-kun, please listen!
If it weren't for Commander Ikari's decision,
you could've been killed!
That has nothing to do with it.
But that's the truth!
Didn't I just say that it has nothing to do with it?!
My father, he tried to murder Asuka!
With my own hands!
Why? Why?!
Why, damn it?!
You don't understand anything, Father!
I was a fool to believe in you!
You should just go and lose someone important to you too, Father!
Thenu'll understand!
Increase the concentration of the LCL to the limit.
I have no time to be dealing with a brat's tantrums.
I still have direct control
Damn it...
Damn it... damn it...
Ikari-kun.
You're always listening to that, aren't you?
Yeah.
It's something my father used back in the day.
It's just like the glasses you have, Ayanami.
Though, he decided he didn't need it anymore, and left it behind.
Just like me.
He left it behind at my teacher's place, so I took it.
When I close off my ears, I close off my heart, too.
Then, I don't have to face this world I hate.
World you hate?
Yeah.
A world where the father I hate lives.
A world with frightening Angels and EVAs.
A world that makes you do terrible things.
A world where my father no longer needs me now that he has the Dummy Plug.
A world where my friends and I are hurt.
Though there are some good things, in the end they are all destroyed.
It's a world I hate.
I'm rejecting it.
I thought that my father would protect me from this world I hate if I had this with me.
But I was just deluding myself.
Didn't you try to understand your father, Ikari-kun?
I tried to.
But you didn't do anything.
I did to!
It's Father's fault!
Wasn't it him who abandoned me?!
And just like this, you're going to run away from things you hate again.
And what's wrong with that?
What's wrong with running away from things you hate?!
Here again.
No more...
Vehicles recovering the remnants of Unit 03 should each have...
Although all traces of cellular contamination have disappeared,
we cannot rule out the possibility of mental contamination from the Angel.
Our only option is to keep her quarantined.
They're not going to kill her, are they?
She's a precious specimen.
It won't happen.
Out you come, Ikari Shinji-kun.
Commander Ikari will see you now.
Insubordination.
Private appropriation of an EVA.
Blatant extortion.
These are all criminal offenses.
Do you have anything to say for yourself?
Yes. I don't want to pilot EVA ever again.
I see.
Then get out of here.
You're running away again?
You need to sacrifice everything and use your own strength in order to fulfill your desires.
It's not something others can do for you.
Shinji. Grow up.
I don't know what it is to be an adult.
It's me. Erase all records of the Third Child.
From now on, Unit 01 will be piloted by the Dummy System.
There will be no need for a backup.
Rei didn't stop Shinji-kun from leaving.
She's changed quite a bit recently, so I was expecting her to.
We really can't gauge the relationship between the two of them.
But with this, we only have one pilot again.
I guess we're back to where we started.
I think you already know this,
but even though your records have been erased, you will continue to be monitored,
and your activities will be severely restricted.
You forgot this.
Suzuhara-kun and Aida-kun left you several voice messages.
They're worried about you.
I don't need it.
I left it behind on purpose.
You don't want to know about Rei and Asuka?
To be honest, maybe I don't care about things like the fate of humanity and the world.
I may hold the position I have now,
but initially it was only because I wanted to be at least a little closer to my deceased father
that I joined NERV.
It's the same reason you piloted EVA because Commander Ikari needed you to.
That's why piled my own feelings and hopes onto you.
I knew that they would burden you.
I know that you are disappointed with what happened when you piloted EVA.
But even so, I still
Rei also invited Commander Ikari that day.
She wanted you and your father to get along.
She wanted you both to smile together.
I will never...
... smile with anyone again.
Next stop is Kamigoura, Kamigoura.
Please exit on the left.
The Japanese government has now declared a state of emergency.
In accordance with emergency regulations, this train will stop at the nearest evacuation station.
Please head to the designated platform quickly after alighting and board the incline.
An Angel.
Brr, it's freezing.
It's the new suit alright.
My boobs fit perfectly, it feels... great!
The time has come.
All personnel, Battle Stations One.
Prepare for surface-to-air interception.
The target?
It's currently advancing forward.
It broke through the Old Odawara defense perimeter.
That blast must've been huge for the shockwaves to reach even here.
District 4 suffered a direct hit.
Losses unknown.
All surface armor systems have been melted!
It broke through all 24 layers of special armor in one hit...
So, the Tenth Angel is the strongest rejection-type.
Its destructive power is unbelievable.
Launch an all-out attack!
Make use of all anti-invasion facilities within the fortified city!
It doesn't matter by how much, slow it down!
EVA Unit 02?!
Who's piloting it?
Unknown.
It was not us who issued the launch order.
Target intact.
The second wave of N2 mines had no effect.
That's fine. The evacuation of citizens is top priority!
The third wave of N2 mines has been authorized! Get them ready!
The EVAs won't make it in time to intercept it on the surface.
Request the cooperation of Europe.
Deploy Unit 02 to the Geofront!
What about Unit 00?
The left arm is undergoing emergency treatment.
It should be barely usable!
Once that's done, send it in to assist Unit 02.
Fighting without backup is too risky.
Roger.
What about Unit 01?
It's currently being prepared for activation with the Dummy System.
Make it quick!
Wasn't that from the city area?
Hey, what's going on?
It's fine, the Geofront shelter is right ahead.
My phone's not working.
It's the safest place out there.
The target is infiltrating Geofront!
EVA Unit 02 is about to engage it!
How is the communication with Unit 02?
The two-way link has been cut, there's nothing we can do...
I see.
So she wants to fight alone.
It smells good...
Although this EVA smells of someone else, it's not a bad smell.
The 5th defense perimeter will be breached soon.
I better take care of this quickly, or Headquarters will go poof!
Its A.T. field is too strong.
No progress will be made at this rate!
Let's try this.
If it's at point-blank...
Owww...
Oh, no!
Bastard, not bad at all!
Dummy System has been connected.
Start contact.
Roger!
What's wrong?
The core unit is rejecting the dummy!
It's no good! EVA Unit 01 won't activate!
It's not accepting the dummy?
Fuyutsuki.
Take care of things for me for a bit.
I can't win at this rate.
Alright, let's try this.
I'll show you the power of an EVA that has abandoned its humanity.
Invert mode.
Secret code: "The Beast"!
Hang in there, EVA Unit 02.
I'll endure it with you!
EVA actually has functions like that?
The limiters are being removed!
All readings are beyond standards!
Unable to monitor the plug interior!
But...
It's likely that the plug depth has reached negative values.
This means the pilot was fine with entering the contamination zone.
We can't!
It's too dangerous!
Nothing... ventured...
Nothing...
... gained!
Again!
The bestialized second configuration of EVA.
It still couldn't win even after it abandoned its humanity to become combat-specialized.
There's nothing more we can do.
Unit 00?!
Without a rifle?
No way...
Rei, stop!
Rei!
A.T. field, full power!
Even if...
Even if Ikari-kun won't pilot EVA, I'll make it alright!
So please...
That A.T. field cannot be broken by a single EVA unit!
Unit 02, this is your final task!
One... more!
Run, pilot of Unit 02!
Thank you.
Where's Unit 00?
This shelter has been designated as a hazardous zone.
Please evacuate to a safety zone as soon as possible.
I repeat
Owww...
I was pretty close to dying, meow...
Huh? What are you doing here?
I guess this explains why we were short of one unit.
I...
I've already decided not to pilot.
So there's actually someone out there who wracks his brains about whether or not to pilot EVA.
Well then, you should hurry up and run.
Here, I'll help you.
I'm not going to pilot.
I'm not going to pilot...
You know, you won't have any fun if you keep fretting like that.
No way, the Angel consumed the EVA...
That's impossible!
This is strange, the target's identification signal is turning into Unit 00's!
It got us!
Now, Dogma won't self-destruct even if that thing gets inside!
It'll be able to reach Lilith with no effort!
It's fusing with Unit 00.
It even absorbed the pilot.
You'll die too, if you don't hurry up and run!
Ah, he left...
Headquarters' ground facilities have been annihilated!
Third foundation has suffered a direct hit!
Final armor plating has been melted!
Oh, no!
The main shaft is completely exposed!
Unit 01 isn't ready yet?
Unable to fix plug to entry position!
It's rejecting the signal to connect the Dummy System!
It's no good, resetting it doesn't help!
Keep trying.
Start again from 308.
List 308...
Why?
Why are you refusing me, Yui?
Let me pilot it!
Please...
... let me pilot Unit 01!
What are you doing here?
Father!
I am the pilot of Evangelion Unit 01...
Ikari Shinji!
The target has descended past seventh layer of Terminal Dogma!
It's coming here.
All noncombatants, evacuate!
All noncombatants are to evacuate immediately!
I repeat, all noncombatants are to evacuate
EVA Unit 01?!
Shinji-kun!
Misato-san!
Release the locks!
Out of energy?
Unit 01 has reached the end of its active time limit!
The backup reserves are depleted, too!
Shinji-kun...
Shinji-kun!
Give Ayanami...
... back to me!
It's moving?
But it should be at the end of its active time limit...
It's going berserk?
I don't know...
What on Earth is happening with Unit 01?
Such power in an EVA...
Has Unit 01 transcended human limits?
Plug depth is over 180!
Reaching critical levels!
Stop, Shinji-kun!
You won't be able to become human again!
What happens to me doesn't matter.
What happens to the world doesn't matter.
But, Ayanami...
At least Ayanami...
I'll definitely save her!
Go for it, Shinji-kun!
Misato?
This isn't for someone else!
It's for the sake of your own wishes!
Ayanami, where are you?!
It's too late.
I'm no longer able to live anywhere else but here.
Ayanami!
It's fine, Ikari-kun.
Even if I disappear, I'll be replaced.
I'll be replaced...
You're wrong!
There's no other Ayanami but you!
That's why I'll save you now!
Oh, no...
Its physical limiters are disappearing!
Analysis impossible!
Breaking free of the human limits that restricted it, the EVA now returns to its original form.
It has dissolved the curse humans have placed on it,
and has exceeded humans to transform into a near-Godlike existence.
Inside the huge waves of complementarity, it spins Heaven, Earth, and all creation together,
transforming itself into a condensed energy form.
It's doing that to grant the wish of one human being.
Just for that.
Ayanami!
Ayanami! Give me your hand!
Come!
Unit 01 was triggered before the rest of the units were ready...
Commander Ikari, SEELE won't be quiet about this.
As we thought, the two of them were enough to awaken Unit 01.
Yeah.
Just a little more until our project is complete.
Ayanami, about my father...
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't do anything.
It's fine.
I'm fine with this.
I see.
He's quite the convenient fellow.
I wonder if it's because he smelled different?
This is the birth of a new life that transcends the logos of this world.
The cost of it is the elimination of older life.
Wings.
Just like 15 years ago.
Yes.
It's the continuation of the Second Impact.
The Third Impact has begun.
The world is about to end.
What on Earth was that?!
Now, the Promised time has come, Ikari Shinji-kun.
This time, I'll definitely...
... make you happy.
EVA Unit 01 is immobilized with Rei and Shinji still trapped inside.
The fortified city in ruins.
The NERV personnel imprisoned.
EVA Unit 06 descends at Dogma.
The quickening EVA Unit 08 and its pilot.
The children chosen by fate finally assemble.
How will this tale of people who wish to survive play out?

There'll also be plenty of fanservice!

Let's stay friends
Forever and ever
We'll dream of tomorrow
And walk the road of hope
We will live freely
Like a bird flying in the sky
Today, we say goodbye
Until the day we meet again
Today, we say goodbye
Until the day we meet again
Let's treasure the joy
Of believing in each other
Today, we say goodbye
Until the day we meet again
If you could grant my wish
I'd wish for wings
Please place white wings on my back
Just like a bird's
I want to spread my wings
And fly off into the wide sky
Towards the sky, free and without sorrow
I will beat my wings and fly
I still see even now
The dream I saw as a child
I want to spread my wings
And fly off into the wide sky
Towards the sky, free and without sorrow
I will beat my wings
I want to spread my wings
And fly off into the wide sky
Towards the sky, free and without sorrow

If I can be granted just one wish
Let me sleep beside you, any place is fine
Beautiful world
Unwavering, my eyes are only on you
Beautiful boy
You still don't know how beautiful you are
It's only love
Whether sleeping or awake
All you dream of are teenage comics. Don't you like yourself?
You don't know what you want
You simply want it. Warm tears roll down your cheeks
I have nothing I want to tell you
I just want to meet you once more
I can't say what I want to say
Maybe I'm just a coward
But that's all right too
If I can be granted just one wish
Let me sleep beside you, any place is fine
Beautiful world
Unwavering, my eyes are only on you
Beautiful boy
You still don't know how beautiful you are
It's only love
No matter what it is, give everything a try
Even if you lose out, you will learn from it just a little bit
I don't need newspapers
What's important to me isn't printed there
How have you been lately?
As long as you are well
I'll be fine
If I can't meet you before my world ends
Let me sleep beside you, any place will do
Beautiful world
As these fleeting days pass by
Beautiful boy
I can't help it but feel uneasy
If I can be granted just one wish
Let me sleep beside you
Beautiful world
Beautiful boy
Beautiful world
Beautiful boy
It's only love
