SHIN SEIKI
Yes, I've already made arrangements with the Committee about that problem.
The cargo left Sasebo yesterday, and is now in the Pacific.
Mil-55D transport helicopter ! I never thought I'd get a chance to be on one !
It's great to have friends, isn't it, Shinji ?
I thought it was stuffy staying in the mountain every day, so I invited all of you on my date.
Then, is this a real date with Misato ?
I bought this cap just for today, Misato.
So, where are we going ?
We're going to be cruising the Pacific on some gorgeous ships !
Five carriers and four battleships !
It's a large fleet. It's definitely good to have friends.
That's ``gorgeous ?''
You bet it's gorgeous !
That's the carrier, ``Over the Rainbow,'' the pride of the U.N. Forces.
It's huge.
I wonder how such an obsolete ship can stay afloat.
No, no, it's pre-Second Impact vintage.
How nice, they brought a toy socket.
They're on an errand for the kid.
Great...
...great...
Too great ! If you're a man, you weep at such a sight !
Great...!
...great...
Hey, wait ! Wait !
Damn it ! Stop ! Stop !
Hello, Misato. How've you been ?
As well as ever. You look taller.
Yeah ! And the rest of my body has grown too.
Let me introduce you...
She's the exclusive pilot of Evangelion Unit 02, the Second Child, Souryu Asuka Langley.
Episode 8
Asuka
Arrives at Japan
What'd you hit me for ?!
Payment for the view. Cheap, wasn't it ?
Say what ? Then I'll show you mine, too.
What're you doing ?!
So, which is the much-discussed Third Child ?
Don't tell me it's...
No, he's the one.
He seems rather dull...
I thought you were accompanying kids from the Boy Scouts, but it seems that I was wrong.
Thank you for your understanding, Captain.
Don't mention it. I'm rather happy to have kids to take care of after such a long time.
We appreciate your assistance with the transport of Eva Unit 02.
Here's the specifications for the emergency power socket.
I haven't heard any requests to mobilize ``that'' doll at sea.
Just think of it as back-up in case of emergency.
To guard against such emergencies, we, the Pacific Fleet, are escorting it.
When did the U.N. become a delivery service ?
I believe it was just after a certain organization was established.
This is a massive escort for guarding a mere toy.
The entire Pacific Fleet is mobilized.
Considering Eva's importance, it seems too small.
Well, please sign these forms.
Not yet.
At the request of the 3rd Branch in Germany...
...both Unit 02 and its pilot are under this fleet's command.
I won't allow you to just do as you please !
Then, when will you transfer command ?
After unloading the cargo at Shin-Yokosuka.
We're still in charge at sea. Follow our orders without question.
I understand. In an emergency, however, please don't forget that Nerv has authority.
She's cool !
She's almost like Ritsuko...
You're as courteous as ever...
Kaji-senpai !
Hi.
Kaji, I didn't invite you to the bridge.
Sorry about that.
Well, excuse us. On the way to Shin-Yokosuka...
Is this a date ?
Awesome, too awesome.
Shit ! Those kids will save the Earth ?
Times change. I heard that Congress has put its hopes in that robot.
In that toy ? Idiots !
If they have the money for things like that, they should be paying US more !
What're you doing here ?!
I'm accompanying her. I'm on a business trip from Germany.
I was careless... I should have expected this to happen...
Hey, don't touch me !
What can we do ?!
The 3rd Squadron has taken off as scheduled...
Are you seeing anyone ?
It's none of your business, is it ?
Oh, you're so cold.
You're living with Katsuragi, aren't you ?
Y...yes.
Tell me, does she still toss about in her sleep ?
Wh...wh...
What're you talking about ?!
So, she hasn't changed, has she, Ikari Shinji ?
N...no. How do you know my name ?
It's no surprise, you're famous in our society...
...the Third Child, who piloted Eva in combat without any training.
Not really. It was luck.
That luck is part of your destiny. It's your talent.
See you later, then.
Okay.
This has to be a bad joke. No, a nightmare...
What do you think of Ikari Shinji ?
He's dull !~~I'm disappointed that a boy like him has been chosen as the Third Child.
When confronted by sudden combat, his synchro-ratio exceeded 40%.
No way.
That captain was completely arrogant !
He's a proud man. He couldn't help saying some ironies.
He seems to be rather lively...Kaji, I mean.
He's always been like that. The idiot !
Third Child !
Come with me.
I didn't know Unit 02 was red.
That's not the only difference.
After all, Units 00 and 01 are prototypes. They're just test models.
That's why it synchronized with someone who hasn't had any training.
However, Unit 02 is different.
This is a true Evangelion, the first on Earth to be built for actual combat. The final model.
What's happening ?
Shock wave in the water...!
Something's exploded nearby.
That's....
Is that... an Angel ?
Is that a real one...?
What should I do ? I have to get back to where Misato is.
Chance.
NEON GENESIS
All ships, check distance between ships and take evasive maneuvers.
Report the situation.
``Cinbli'' is sinking. ``Titus Andronicus'' hasn't confirmed the target.
Damn it ! What's going on ?!
Hello, Nerv service.
Do you need data and countermeasures against that invisible enemy ?
We're engaged in battle ! Unauthorized personnel are not allowed here !
From what I can tell, this must be an Angel attack.
All ships, fire at will.
That's useless.
That kind of attack won't penetrate its AT-field.
Why is the Angel here ?
Is it for Unit 02 ?
Hey, where're we going ?
Wait here a second !
What's she doing...?
Don't peep, you jerk !
Why are boys such perverted idiots ?!
Asuka, let's go.
Why won't it sink ?
Only Eva can defeat it, after all.
Hey, let's go !
You're coming with me !
Hey, why're we changing into plug suits ?
Are you stupid ? It's obvious. We're gonna defeat it with Unit 02.
That's going too far. Shouldn't we ask Misato ?
I'll ask after I win.
Here I go. I'll show you how skillful I am.
Just don't disturb me.
Strange. It seems to be looking for something.
I never expected an Angel attack here. This isn't like what you said.
That's what Unit 02 is for, and another pilot's there as a reserve.
If the worst happens, escape by yourself.
I understand.
LCL Fullung, Anfang der Bewegung...
...Anfang des Nerven anschlusses...
...Ausloses von links-Kleidung... Synchro-Start.
Error ? What happened ?
Mental noise ! I told you not to disturb me !
What do you mean ?
You're thinking in Japanese, aren't you ? Think in German !
A...all right... Ba...baumkuuhen...
Idiot !
Oh, fine ! Switch base thought language to Japanese.
Evangelion Unit 02, activate !
Message from ``Othello:'' Evangelion Unit 02 has activated.
What ?!
Nice, Asuka !
No, halt the activation sequence. Put it back.
I don't care ! Asuka, launch !
What !?
Both Eva and its pilot are under our command. I won't let you do as you like !
What're you talking about ?! Who cares about procedure at a time like this ?
Hey...!
Is she serious ? Unit 02's still configured with B-equipment.
If we fall into the sea, it's over.
If we don't, we'll be okay.
Shinji, you're also on board ?
Yes.
Two kids...
Can I test it...?
Asuka, go for it !
It's coming.
Here we go.
Which way ?
Over there.
Only 58 seconds left.
I know ! Misato, prepare the emergency external power supply on deck !
I understand.
What are you going to do ?
Okay, I'm gonna jump !
Jump ?
Run !
Spare socket ready.
Reactor connection complete.
Clear the flight deck.
Eva, cleared to land.
All personnel, prepare for impact.
Nonsense !
Eva Unit 02, landiiiiing !
What a waste !
Target is rapidly approaching the ship !
It's coming from 9 o'clock !
Switching to external power source.
Switching complete.
But, we don't have a gun.
One Prog'knife is enough.
That thing's really big.
That's what I thought.
What're they going to do ?
Close range combat's the best way to defeat Angels.
Alright, Asuka, you stopped it !
This isn't a joke ! The flight deck's messed up...
It's fallen.
Asuka, underwater battle is impossible with B-equipment.
We won't know until we try, right ?
What a waste...
What about the length of the cable ?
One thousand two hundred remaining.
What're you going to do ?
We can deal with it.
We have to do something.
The cable's running out. Prepare for shock.
Damn !
Eva lost the target.
Change disks...
Yak-38bis !
Hey, Katsuragi !
Kaji !
I have something to deliver, so I'm leaving now...
Go ahead.
So, if you'll excuse me, Captain Katsuragi...
He ran away.
Target approaching Eva again !
It's coming again !
I'll kill it this time !
What ?! It's not working !
With B-equipment...
What can we do ?
What can we...?
How pathetic ! You're the Third Child, aren't you ?
Here it comes !
Mouth ?
Because it's an Angel...
Eva Unit 02's entered target's body.
Does that mean Eva was eaten ?!
It's like fishing...
Fishing...? Yes, fishing !
We're in trouble again.
Shut up...
Hey, get off me, you pervert !
But we have to free ourselves !
Asuka, can you hear me ? Don't release it !
Captain.
What ?
I beg your cooperation.
Point blank fire by the two remaining battleships ?
Yes. We sink two unmanned battleships on the axial line of the umbilical cable to set a trap.
Meanwhile, Eva Unit 02 will open the target's mouth.
The ships will then rush into the opening.
After firing, self-destruct them to destroy the target.
That's insane !
Insane, but not impossible.
I understand.
All hands, abandon ship. Repeat, all hands abandon ship.
All frigates, pick up those people in the lifeboats, quickly !
But what about Eva ?
Don't worry, those two'll be alright.
Hey, don't operate my Unit 02 without my permission !
Do both of you understand the operation ?
I'll do my best.
I'm counting on you.
Open the Kingston valves. Start sinking to Z-point.
Roger. Reverse the cable.
Eva has started surfacing. 70 to contact.
Hey, you're still touching me. Move over !
But if we can't open the mouth soon, we'll also be destroyed.
60 to contact.
Status of Angel's mouth ?
Still closed.
Both battleships are sinking to the target.
Eva's surfacing ! 50 to contact !
It's no use !
We don't have much time left...
Target has passed under the ``Tempest.''
Hurry or you'll be too late !
Don't think strange things !
Like what ?
Never mind, just concentrate.
I know.
20 to contact.
15 to contact.
Open, open, open, open !
Fire !
Shin Yokosuka (Formerly Odawara)
You did it again.
I should have prepared for underwater combat.
How rare. Second-guessing yourself ?
Don't say it. We've obtained precious data.
You're right.
Misato...
It's truly precious.
P...pair-look !
That's sick !
They set a new synchro-ratio record, didn't they ?
For only 7 seconds. It was probably because of the danger...
Hey, where's Kaji ?
He escaped earlier. He must've arrived at HQ ! That bastard !
Well, that was an eventful journey.
Was it because of this ?
It has already been restored to this stage.
It's held within hard Bakelite, though I'm certain it's still alive.
It's the key to the Complement of Humanity Project, isn't it ?
Yes. This is the first human being...
...ADAM.
Really, she was a disgusting girl, despite her lovely appearance.
Well, we'll never see her again.
But, sir, you can't avoid meeting her because of your job. I really sympathize with you.
I'm Souryu Asuka Langley. Nice to meet you.

PREVIEW
It's the first combination attack with two Evas...
...but Shinji and Asuka's minds are out of phase...
Misato brings a plan to them to form their perfect unison.
Next time: ``Momentarily Unite the Minds.''
And, of course, fanservice !
