Shin-chan, did you change the soup stock ?
Yeah, it's bonito. It's a souvenir from Ritsuko.
Hot !
Sorry.
You apologized so easily ! Do you REALLY feel sorry ?!
Shinji, you always apologize as if it's a conditioned reflex to avoid criticism !
Sorry.
See ? You're so self-destructive, to the core...
Now, now. That's his lifestyle.
You're so naive giving in to his lifestyle !
You're so understanding towards Shinji lately !
Am I ?
Just because you restored your relationship with Kaji...
...I don't want you to show off how happy you are.
There's nothing between Kaji and me.
Yo, Katsuragi. I found a bar with good liquor. How about tonight ? Bye.
I've never had such an indecent adult relationship, like you !
What's with you ?! You act just like a parent !
You're so hypocritical ! It's disgusting !
E p i s o d e
Deadly Illness, Then...
''Shi ni itaru yamai, soshite''
Type B harmonics test, normal.
All depth parameters cleared.
Misato, you look tired.
Because of various private reasons...
Kaji ?
Shut up !
How's the Third Child doing ?
Look at this.
Let's see...
I hope this helps him gain a little more confidence.
Can you hear me, Shinji ?
Misato, how was the result from that test ?
Hi, kimi ga ichiban !
He's done it ! He surpassed me easily !
He did it so easily, that to be honest, I'm irritated !
Great, wonderful, strong, so strong !
Oh, unbeatable Shinji...
Our job'll be easier !
Right ? We must work harder so we won't be left behind.
Bye.
Next stop is Seishoukaose, Seishoukaose...
...in front of Bashohal's used books and software...
Alright.
It'll take five more minutes to evacuate the west district.
Target's slowly moving forward at 2.5km per hour.
You're late.
Sorry !
What was the observation post at Mt. Fuji doing ?!
They didn't detect anything ! It suddenly appeared directly above us !
Pattern, orange ! No AT-field detected !
What does it mean ?
Is that a new kind of Angel ?
Magi's withholding their conclusion.
Geez, why's Commander Ikari absent at a time like this ?
Everyone, do you hear me ?
Target data's sent to you.
That's all we know so far.
Engage slowly, observe its response and lure it outside the city if possible.
Unit 02 will backup the forward, okay ?
Yes, teacher, I think Shinji should take the forward !
Naturally.
This's a job for a brave and courageous man with the higher grade and No.1 synchro ratio.
Or Shin-chan, maybe you aren't confident ?
I'll go ! I'll show you how it's done !
W...what did you say ?!
Hey, you guys...
You told me I'm number one.
Well, that was...
Combat's a man's job.
How anachronistic. Unit 02 will backup.
Unit 00 will backup, too.
Those kids've gone on their own...
Shinji's become quite brave.
No. I'll have to scold him when he's back.
You can be a good babysitter.
Ayanami, Asuka, are you in position ?
Not yet.
I can't move that fast.
Not yet ?
Well then, I have to stop it myself.
It disappeared ?!
What ?!
Pattern blue, Angel detected directly beneath Unit 01 !
A...shadow...
What's this ? Something's wrong !
Shinji, get out of there ! Shinji...
Ikari...
Idiot, what're you doin' ?!
Misato, what's going on ?!
Misato...? Asuka, Ayanami, what happened to my backups ?!
Misato, can you hear me ?!
Eject the plug ! Send the signal !
No use ! It doesn't respond !
Misato...Misato...!
Shinji !
Asuka, Rei, save Unit 01, hurry !
That idiot, what's the point of scoring the highest on a sham exam ?
It disappeared again.
Asuka, be careful.
Shadow...?!
No !
The city...
Asuka, Rei, withdraw.
Wai...
Wait, Unit 01 and Ikari are still...
That's an order. Withdraw.
Major Katsuragi is in a difficult position.
When the umbilical cable was pulled up, it was disconnected.
That means...
Internal power's limited...
...but if Shinji doesn't move Eva randomly and stays in life support mode...
...he can stay alive for about sixteen hours.
Second tank squadron, deployment complete.
Roger, wait for orders at your current position.
Sub Laser, channel's open. Send data.
Copy. Transmitting on channel C.
UN Force's siege complete.
What about the shadow ?
It hasn't moved. It's been staying still ever since it reached a diameter of 600 meters.
I wonder if the ground forces will do any good.
They want to pressure us.
Oh my, oh my, acting by himself, ignoring the plan...
Yeah, this is all his fault.
Just because he scored highest on yesterday's test...
...how could he say, ``I'll show you how it's done ?''
He was so elated.
W...what ?
You don't want to hear bad things about Shinji, huh ?!
Do you pilot Eva just to have people praise you ?
No, not by other people ! I want to praise myself !
Stop it, both of you !
That's right. It was a selfish act, so...
...I'll have to scold him when he gets back.
NEON GENESIS
I never thought that going to sleep could be so tiresome.
It's completely blank. No response on radar or sonar.
This space is too broad.
It's been twelve hours since I switched to life support mode.
My life will last only five or six hours...
I'm hungry.
So, that shadow's the main part of the Angel ?
Yes, about 680 meters in diameter and 3 nanometers thick.
It sustains that super-thin space with an inverted AT-Field...
...and the inside is an imaginary space called ``Dirac's Ocean.''
It might be connected to another space.
What's that sphere then ?
That should disappear when the main body's destroyed.
That floating object is nothing but a shadow.
The black shadow that drew Unit 01 inside is our target...?
How can we handle that thing ?
It's getting muddy. The purifying function is weakening.
It smells fishy...blood...? It's the smell of blood.
No, I can't stand this ! Why can't I unlock this ?!
Open up ! Let me outta here !
Misato, what's happening ?!
Misato, Asuka, Ayanami !
Ritsuko...Father...
Please, someone help me.
Compulsory salvage of Eva...?
That's the only method we could come up with for now.
Dropping all existing 992 N-2 bombs into its center.
Taking timing into account and letting the two AT-field protected Evas...
...infiltrate the imaginary area for only 1 millisecond.
Focus the explosive power right before that moment...
...and destroy both the Angel and the Dirac's Ocean.
But Eva's body won't... We don't know what'll happen to Shinji !
We can't call it a rescue operation !
Recovering the body of Unit 01 is the top priority in this operation.
Even if it's severely damaged, it'll still be fine.
Wait a minute !
In this situation, the pilot's condition can't be taken into account.
Losing Shinji is your fault. Don't forget that.
Why are you and Commander Ikari so concerned about Unit 01 ?
What is Eva ?!
The information I gave to you is everything.
You're lying !
Misato, trust me.
I'll command everything in this operation.
We'll stage the flights from Kanku.
Contact the JASDF's control and mobility squadron.
The Second Impact... Human Complement Project...Adam...
There're so many secrets that I don't know.
Who are you ?
Ikari Shinji.
That's me.
I'm you. Everyone has another self within them.
Two figures make one individual.
Two ?
The one seen by others and the one who's looking at them.
There are many Ikari Shinjis.
The one in your mind, the one in Katsuragi Misato's mind...
...the one in Souryu Asuka's mind, the one in Ayanami Rei's mind...
...and the one in Ikari Gendou's mind.
Each of them are different, but they're all Ikari Shinji.
You're concerned about Ikari Shinji in other's minds.
I don't want others to hate me.
You don't want to get hurt.
Whose fault ? My father's fault.
It was my father who abandoned me.
It's my fault.
You tend to think you're wrong, that's so called self-destructive.
I'm useless.
You think you're useless, right ?
Don't you trust your father ?
I think I hate him, but I'm not sure now.
Well done, Shinji.
Father called my name. Father praised me.
So, you want to live with that happiness.
If I trust his words, I can live.
By deceiving yourself...?
Everyone's the same. Everyone lives by doing that.
If you don't believe you're doing alright, you can't live.
There're too many hardships for me to live in my world.
For example, you can't swim ?
Humans aren't born to float.
It's self deception.
Whatever you want to call it !
You've closed your eyes and shut your ears to unpleasant matters.
In that incident, his sister was...
It doesn't matter what others think !
Go home !
No, I don't want to hear it !
See, you're running away again.
You can't live by spinning only a thread of happiness.
Particularly, I can't.
I found something interesting.
To find something interesting and stick to it...
...what's wrong with that ?!
The entry plug's backup power has reached its theoretical limit.
The plug suit's life support system has almost reached the danger zone.
Let's move up our schedule twelve minutes.
While there's a possibility that Shinji's still alive...
Father, am I an unwanted child ?
Father !
You ran away yourself.
That's right, he might be the one who killed his wife !
He killed his wife !
No ! My mother was smiling.
You did something you can be proud of.
Shinji, don't run away.
Good luck.
I don't want to be...
...alone...
I don't want...
The temperature control and air circulation have stopped.
It's cold.
No, the suit's reaching its limit.
Is it over ?
I'm tired of...
...everything.
Mother...?!
Are you satisfied ?
I see, that's good.
The two Eva units are in position.
Get ready to generate the AT-field.
Roger.
Sixty seconds to bomb drop.
What's happening ?!
Status ?
Not sure !
All gauges are off the scale !
We haven't done anything !
Could that be Shinji ?
Impossible ! Unit 01's power is zero !
Am I piloting something like ``that''...?!
What...what did we copy it from ?
I know it's not just a copy of the first Angel...
...but what will NERV do with Eva when it defeats all the Angels ?
Shinji...Shinji...Shinji...
Shinji... Are you alright, Shinji ?
I just wanted to see...again.
Aren't you supposed to scold him ?
I never thought that the Eva was so frightening, until today.
I wonder if Eva's really on our side.
It might hate us.
Major Katsuragi might have become aware of something.
I see. It's alright for now.
If Rei and Shinji become aware of Eva's secret, they won't forgive us.
Stay in bed today. We'll take care of the rest.
I'm alright.
Really ? That's good.
I can't get rid of the smell of blood.
