[Mari]
PREVIOUSLY ON EVANGELION
EVANGELION:1.11
YOU ARE [NOT] ALONE.
[Ritsuko] Mankind's ultimate multipurpose
humanoid decisive w*apon:
Artificial human Evangelion.
Shinji Ikari, you're the pilot.
[Gendoh]
Launch the Eva.
[Shinji]
There is no way I could!
[Gendoh] Stop wasting time.
Get in the Eva or get out!
[Shinji] Don't run away... Don't run away.
Don't run away!
I'll be the pilot.
[Misato]
Our Eva can defeat an Angel.
[Gendoh] Our future depends on
defeating the Angels.
[Misato] 15 years ago, half of humanity
d*ed in the Second Impact.
If the Angels set off a Third Impact,
humanity will die out.
[Shinji] What am I doing here?
[Rei] Don't you have faith in him?
In the work he does?
[Shinji] Piloting the Eva is all I have,
right?
It's the only reason Father sent for me.
That's why I have to be the pilot.
[Misato] You need to decide
if you want to be an Eva pilot.
[Shinji] I'll do it! I'll pilot my Eva.
[Rei] You won't die.
I will protect you.
[Misato] He didn't run
from piloting the Eva.
He should be left in charge
unless he wants out!
- [Tohji] Go get him!
- [Kensuku] I'm counting on you.
[Rei] Farewell. No, it's just that
I don't have anything else.
[Shinji] Ayanami!
[Rei] I don't know how
I should act at times like this.
[Shinji] Smile, that would be good.
[Fuyutsuki] Children
with predestined fates...
EVANGELION:2.22
YOU CAN [NOT] ADVANCE.
[Misato] Asuka Langley-Shikinami.
Eva Unit 02's pilot.
[Asuka] You're an idiot!
[Shinji] Wow, I guess some people
like being an Eva pilot.
[Misato] So, you have issues
with your father?
- [Gendoh] Good work, Shinji!
- He congratulated me for the first time.
This Human Instrumentality Project...
What's NERV really up to?
[Kaji] Protect Katsuragi for me.
[Rei] I feel warm and fuzzy
when I'm with Shinji.
[Asuka] You're in love,
that's what it means!
[Mari] Makes you pretty interesting.
[Rei] You can be happy without one.
[Shinji] Father, Asuka's inside that Eva!
[Gendoh] That is an Angel!
Our enemy!
[Shinji] Arghh!
- It's all Father's fault!
- Running away again?
[Shinji] What's wrong with
running away from pain?
I never want to pilot an Eva again.
[Mari] Fretting over stuff like that
makes the life less fun.
[Rei] Just to make sure
that Shinji won't have to pilot
an Eva anymore!
I'm here because I'm Shinji Ikari,
pilot of Evangelion Unit 1!
Give me back Ayanami!
[Misato]
Do it to make your wish come true!
[Rei] Even if I'm gone,
others can replace me.
Ayanami! Come here!
[Rei] I'm sorry.
In the end, I couldn't do anything.
[Shinji] No need to be sorry. It's fine.
[Ritsuko] It's the continuation
of the Second Impact.
[Kaworu] The Third Impact is beginning!
- [Kaworu] The world is ending.
- [Ritsuko] The time has come.
EVANGELION:3.33
YOU CAN [NOT] REDO.
[Misato] Shinji Ikari, don't do anything.
[Shinji] Shouldn't I be piloting Unit 1?
This is crazy, Misato!
How am I supposed
to take this in all of a sudden?
[Asuka] Because 14 years
have passed since then.
[Misato] We're WILLE, an organization
dedicated to the destruction of NERV!
I'm Kaworu Nagisa.
I'm like you, another child
with predetermined fate.
[Gendoh] Evangelion Unit 13.
When the time comes,
you are to pilot the Eva with him.
[Sakura] Don't pilot an Eva ever.
- [Misato] Rei doesn't exist anymore.
- [Shinji] You're lying!
[Kaworu] Once awakened,
Eva Unit 1 opened the Doors of Guf,
and acted as the trigger
to bring about the Third Impact.
You were the key to all of this.
- [Shinji] You're the one I saved, right?
- [Rei] I don't know.
[Gendoh] Let's begin, Fuyutsuki!
[Asuka] Idiot Shinji, do you want
to start another Third Impact?
[Shinji] I'll take those spears for you.
For everyone!
And then the world will turn to normal!
And even Misato will have to...
[Ritsuko] Misato, activate the DSS choker!
- [Kaworu] Don't do this, Shinji!
- [Asuka] Stop it, you stupid brat!
[Shinji] What the hell is this?
[Kaworu] The Fourth Impact.
This is its opening rite.
[Shinji] Is it my fault?
Because I pulled out the spears?
[Rei] These were my orders.
[Kaworu] Don't look so sad.
We'll meet again, Shinji.
Kaworu!
Nothing good ever happens!
[Asuka] You're so naive.
[Kaworu] There are no sins
you can't atoned for.
There is hope.
There is always hope.

[Aoba] Paris as*ault Fleet,
fully operational.
Descending at Point Zero
of the former city.
[Nagara] All stations, assume
defensive posture. Dead slow astern.
Gravity control, autonomous movement,
remote control, all nominal.
[Hyûga] Skies over Paris, all clear 360.
Verifying vessel coordinates.
Have arrived
at operation initiation point.
[Ritsuko] Roger. All stations:
assume on-alert mode deployment.
[Nagara] All stations:
change formation to screening positions.
Eva Unit 8 and the DSRV
are descending towards target.
[young man] Landing struts anchoring,
nominal. See DSRV locked in position.
[Ibuki] The DSRV has landed.
Analysing atmosphere's composition.
Oxygen density minus 3.
Carbon dioxide
within allowable tolerances.
Disembarkment possible.
[Ritsuko] Roger. Start operation.
[Ritsuko] It's been 16 years.
To see the renown
City of Flower in this state...
It pains my heart!
[series of beeps]
[Ritsuko] The L field density
is higher than expected.
The restoration work on
Euro NERV's Containment Pillar No.1
shall not take more than 720 seconds.
[beep]
[helmsman A] What? That's 180 seconds
shorter than planned!
[helmsman B] What about time needed
for getting back?
[Kitakami] I'm more embarrassed
about wearing this.
They should leave that to the Eva pilots.
[Ibuki] Shut your mouth,
and focus on your work.
[Ibuki] So, can we get
the anti-L system activated?
[helmsman A] Yes, a redo from Stage 4
should work just fine.
All thanks to our predecessors.
[Ibuki] We will uphold your wishes
to preserve this city.
Right, let's get to work.
[squeal and beep]
[Kitakami] They're coming!
Just as we expected!
Eva 44A, customized aerial type!
Incoming from 4 o'clock!
[Ritsuko] Amazing line ahead formation.
They've formed a colony all on its own.
It's like a new creature now.
Mari, please intercept them.
Give us another 560 seconds.
You betcha!
I'll do the honors
of handling all those 44As!
All right, Nagara, my gal,
I'll leave you to handle my wire action!
Let's see now... Yaw, roll and pitch...
Oh! Whoa!
This setup is interesting,
but feels a bit awkward.
Wished they'd at least kept
humanoid points of articulation.
[Kitakami] Unit 8,
currently engaging 1st wave of 44As.
As planned, all 44As
are being drawn to Unit-08.
Available operational duration:
Chief Boatswain, this is slow,
its like working on an 8-bit PC.
[Ibuki] Just like with the Evas,
it's an enigmatic system
that humanity still does not
fully understand.
Control via human language isn't easy.
Stage 4: completed.
We're lagging behind quite a bit.
Keep calm and hurry it up.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am!
[Mari] Argh!
Yee-haw!
Maintain speed. Plus 20 on guide rig.
Keep current pitch.
Steady as she goes!
You're not getting away!
[shouting]
- Yah!
- [clank and alarm]
[Mari] The 4th wave, huh?
One against many.
Many a small bird drive away a hawk, eh?
Operational time remaining: 360 seconds.
This is impossible!
I can't find a way to skip to Stage 5.
Anything can be done!
Keep going deeper!
It's impossible!
Not enough time to overwrite the data!
Nothing is impossible!
Add more bypasses!
Chief, there's not enough time!
Stop your whining!
This is why I hate young men.
[shouting]
Scurry off, you bums! Get out of here!
[Mari] Now that was a piece of cake!
[beeping and locator signal]
[Mari] So the mock angels
were using decoys, huh?
Cocky little punks!
Heads up: Boss Enemy!
[Ritsuko] An example
of a m*llitary application of Evas.
A clear violation of the Vatican Treaty!
What a combo to be up against!
A positron cannon armed 4444C
land-battle variant
and power supply customized 44Bs.
Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki
must be testing us.
[Kitakami] High energy readings
from the 44Bs are increasing!
All stations: ready defensive measures!
All hands: brace for impact and EM blast.
[Kitakami]
The 44Bs are generating
a massive power surge.
Their energy is being routed
to the ultra-high voltage system!
All power supply systems
of 4444C now active.
Positron acceleration
now in its final phase!
Its breech is now closed and locked!
Shout imminent!
[Mari] Just made it in the nick of time!
If it sh**t again, we'll be hosed.
[Kitakami] High energy readings
from the 44Bs once more.
It's storing energy
into the high-power emission system.
Already? 4444C, acceleration initiated.
Assuming f*ring position!
We're really screwed!
Second sh*t imminent!
This is really, really bad!
[shouting]
Nagara, gal, give me a diversion!
[Nagara] Roger.
[Mari] Haaaaa-yaaa!
[coughing]
That won't stop me!
[in French] Excusez-moi, Eiffel!
[Kitakami] The 4444C
is now completely silent.
Operational time left: 30 seconds!
- Using C for analysis.
- The final security lock is now disabled.
Anti-L System,
Stage 5 is now complete!
It's activating now, XO!
[Kitakami] Restoring the old Paris.
All Euro NERV facilities in hibernation
are now rebooting.
Systems coming back on line.
[sigh]
[weary sighs]
Very good work, Maya!
That was a really close call back there.
as*ault successful.
Misato, please come collect the luggage.
[Misato] Roger.
Now descending to the resupply point.
[Aoba] All hands: ready resupply.
Priority One on recovery of Eva
spare parts and munitions.
[Hyûga] Lower all logistics support ships.
Aircraft carriers go first. Hurry!
[Ibuki] Gather together all the parts
needed to build a new Unit 2!
[Mari] The end crowns the work.
Now a cannibalized Unit 2
can be built anew.
Mari and Unit 8 can be modified
to be overlapping-compliant.
No matter where you are,
I'll come get you, doggy!
EVANGELION:3.0+1.01
THRICE UPON A TIME
[plodding orchestral music]
Tsk! What a weakling!
[Kensuke] Sorry, I'm late.
Are you OK, Ikari?
[gasps]
[friendly bark]
[Tohji] Hey, dogs aren't allowed in there!
Oh, wow! Hey, there!
You're awake!
Recognize me?
It's me, boss! Tohji Suzuhara.
It's really been a while, Shinji.
I was blown away by the way you looked
when they brought you in here.
I know a little bit
about what happened to you,
but it's all so strange it's over my head.
I'm glad you're doing OK.
[soft grunts of pain]
So, can you get up now?
Well, it looks like it. Good!
Let's get you up
and back to my place.
Here. It's a bit chilly out there.
[nurse] Doctor, the girl
doesn't want to change her clothes.
[Tohji] It's fine. Let her be.
[nurse] And sir, we're about
to run out of Tamiflu.
[Tohji] All right,
I'll talk to rations manager.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to call it a day.
All right, let's go.
This place is strange.
So many people are here!
[Tohji] Is this the first time
you've seen crowds?
This is Village 3, an enclave that houses
survivors from different places.
About 1000 people live here.
That's where food is rationed out,
three times a week.
Different stuff on different days.
Hello, Doctor!
Oh, Ms. Matsukata!
You're expecting.
Please, don't exert yourself.
[patient] Sir, are these the two Kredit
sent to you that you're looking after?
Yeah, it's something like that.
- Take care of yourself, won't you?
- Right! I'll be off then.
OK, bye!
What is "Kredit"?
[Tohji] Kredit is a welfare
support organization created by WILLE.
It not only provides goods,
but they also act as a go-between
for trade between other villages.
Our village here...
It's a far cry from being self-sufficient!
[Rei] What is that?
It's shaped differently from dogs.
[Tohji] Uh, that's a cat.
[Rei] "Cat"?
First time seeing a cat as well?
They've made the underside
of the carriage their den.
There's about ten of them living there.
SUZUHARA
RING IN CASE OF MEDICAL EMERGENCY
This is my old but happy home.
We have the privilege of living
in a house of our own.
I'm home!
I'll get started on getting dinner ready.
[Tohji Suzuhara happily humming]
[Hikari's father] Hey there, dinner
is finally served. Eat it while it's hot!
[Tohji] Shinji, you must be starving.
You gotta get some food in yourself!
Oh, well. Come around
when you feel like getting some chow.
You can come whenever you want.
[Hikari's father and Tohji]
OK, so let's eat!
[Tohji] What do you think? Isn't it tasty?
It feels strange in my mouth.
It's so warm and soft.
That's right. It's delicious.
See? My daughter knows
how prepare to a meal so it's just right!
[Tohji] She's the best wife in the world.
You'll be surprised when you see her.
[Hikari] We're home. Sorry we're late.
[Tohji] Oh, hey. Welcome home.
We've been waiting.
Shinji, take a look.
Can you tell who my wife is?
It's the Class Rep!
I couldn't believe my ears!
It still feels like a dream to see you.
It's been so long, Shinji and Ms. Ayanami.
No, I'm not Ayanami.
What's that? You're not? Then...
She's a look-alike!
[upset baby]
What is this?
That's my daughter, Tsubame!
Isn't she cute?
It's a human, but small.
Why did you shrink her?
Are you telling me
you've never seen a baby either?
[Hikari] She was even smaller
when she was born.
Babies grow up really fast.
This is "cute".
[Tohji] You betcha! Isn't she the cutest?
She's my daughter, after all!
[baby wails]
[Hikari] Oh dear. I'm sorry.
Loud voices startled you, didn't they?
[Tohji] I'm sorry, Tsubame.
I guess I made you cry.
[banging noise]
Huh? Hey, the big guy's here!
Sorry I'm late. Look what I've got.
[baby wails]
What are you doing?
Babies grow up
by drinking their mom's milk.
I'm sorry, Ms. Look-alike,
you can't. Not yet.
I don't know.
What would Rei Ayanami do
at a time like this?
[Hikari] You're different
from Ms. Ayanami, right?
So you should do
what you think you should do.
I can be "different"?
[Tohji sings]
♪ Get over it! Don't talk about life! ♪
Hey, Ikari. It's been a while.
It's me, Aida. Kensuke Aida.
[Tohji sings]
♪ Yeah! ♪
Kensuke, he's the one that saved you.
I can't count all the times
this survivalist geek came to our rescue.
If it wasn't for him, we'd all have
starved to death a long time ago.
Shinji, it's fine to be quiet,
but the least you can do
is eat food that's been served to you.
Please, Mr. Horaki,
I shouldn't have forced him
to come here and eat with us.
Let's let him be on his own for today.
But Tohji,
he's been offered a treat with this meal.
Very rude not to even have a bite!
Well, Shinji? What of it?
Father, you'll wake up Tsubame!
Let's take care of the dishes
and get the futons out.
Tohji, can you get two more
for Shinji and Ms. Look-alike?
Listen, I think Ikari should come with me.
It'll be better that way.
Kind of unexpected!
Tohji and the Class Rep getting hitched.
They were at each other's throats
all throughout junior high school.
It all changed with the Near Third Impact.
All the troubles that followed
brought them closer together.
See, Ikari?
Some good came out of that close call.
We'll get there in no time
once we reach the top, Ikari.
Here we are!
This place used to be an unmanned station.
Now it's my self-built home.
Make yourself at home.
The toilet is at the back of that car.
I've got to grab some fuel, so go ahead.
I'm naked.
Why aren't you getting
all hot and flustered?
Jeez, you're weird!
Ken-Ken, why did you drag
in this annoying jerk?
[Kensuke] I'm home!
Yeah, she was here ahead of you.
She'll probably be here for a while.
Shikinami won't go to the village.
It's complicated.
[Asuka] No, it isn't.
I just don't want to hang around Lilin.
They're annoying!
So the one thing that will get
your attention is the DSS choker?
Ken-Ken, you're being too easy on him.
Let him clean up his own stupid mess.
Ikari can't do anything
and he can't eat anything.
Something really traumatic
must have happened.
He's just being his usual self.
He shuts himself off from the world
and avoids other people.
That's what he does all the time.
Leave him alone.
It's like he doesn't want to live,
but he doesn't want to die either.
Ikari, you're fine as you are now.
Something brought us together.
Feel free to ask for help.
We're friends, right?
I'm just glad you're still alive, Ikari.
[soft snore]
Hey, Rations Manager,
don't get worked up over all this.
Thanks for your hard work.
Goodnight, dear.
Why do you say goodnight?
Well, it's something we say
hoping we'll all sleep soundly that night.
Goodnight, Ms. Look-alike.
[sigh of frustration]
I'm bored of pretending to sleep.
I won't when I finally get some shut-eye.
[sobbing]
Good morning!
Why do you say good morning?
Well, it's something we say
hoping we can live together for today.
Good morning, Ms. Look-alike.
[rattling]
[Asuka] Rain or shine,
Ken-Ken always gets up at 6.
He's already gone to work.
There's your breakfast.
Just eat already.
Well, that's some tight-fitting
clothes you're wearing there!
This is Ms. Look-alike.
The doctor's wife asked us
to watch over her for today.
Ms. Look-alike?
Sounds like she's got
some skeletons in her closet.
It's OK to have her join us?
If she can work, why not?
If I can work?
I will work if I'm ordered to.
This isn't an order. This is working.
Can you tell me what is work?
[lady A giggling] Good question!
[lady B] Never thought about it.
Well, it's about shedding sweat together,
I suppose.
Shedding sweat?
[lady B] Use three fingers lightly.
Good. Push it down straight and deep.
Don't squeeze it.
Just let them rest on your fingers.
You'll just have to get used
to doing it, I suppose.
C'mon, slow poke!
Keep pace with us. Try to catch up.
[Rei] OK.
This is "shedding sweat"?
[soft gasp]
So this is work?
[laughter]
Oh dear! The seedlings we planted!
[lady A] Good heavens!
C'mon, give us your hand.
[peels of hearty laughter]
[lady A] Good job!
We managed to meet
our daily target today as well.
Here. A special treat
for working hard on your first day.
What should I say at times like this?
Say thank you!
Thank you.
[lady A] Right,
let's have a nice bath now.
What is a bath?
MEMORIAL BATHHOUSE
This is a "bath".
[lady B] Dear, you can't bathe like that
with your clothes on.
Bathing is strange.
It makes me feel warm and fuzzy,
unlike being in LCL.
I'm alive even without orders. Why?
Rolling over in the corner,
all clammed up.
You're just putting on a show
to get sympathy.
You're in the way with my sweeping.
You moron!
[child] Oh, it's not Mommy.
[Hikari] Welcome home, Ms. Look-alike.
Thank you for the hard work.
[child's mother] Sorry I'm late.
[child] Mommy! Yay!
- Have you been a good girl?
- Weeee!
As always, thank you, Hikari.
Not at all. We're here to help each other.
- Right, let's go home.
- Yeah!
- Goodbye!
- Goodbye!
What is "goodbye", Hikari?
It's something we say
hoping we can see each other again.
Let's play together, Mommy!
Come on!
OK, OK, let's go now.
Why are they holding hands?
Well, it's something we do
hoping we can get along.
[gasp of surprise]
[Asuka] I'm sick of this!
[grunting in exasperation]
Hey, you're not the only one
that's hurting inside.
Puking again?
Damn brat! You should be grateful
you get fed in the first place!
You're still a mock Lilin.
You won't last if you don't eat.
Just swallow it down!
I've been living on water only.
Enjoy the taste of crappy food
before your body changes
and stops growing.
Idiot!
The only reason you don't do anything
is because you're afraid of getting hurt!
Since you got all this time to yourself,
why don't think about
why I tried to punch your face in before?
Man, you're so feeble
in that head of yours!
I'll bet you're wrapped up
in thinking about how everything you do
turns for the worse,
and it's all too late!
And you don't want to do anything
because you know it's all your fault.
Maybe you were just listening
to what your father told you to do.
But damn it!
You shouldn't have piloted any Eva!
You're such a wimp!
Go sulk all by yourself, loser!
[sad, slow piano music]
[penguin squawking]
[Kensuke] I'm home.
Hey, where's Ikari?
[Asuka] He ran away.
I see...
Leaving him alone might be
the best option.
Where did he go?
The lakeside ruins, north of here.
He chose a former NERV facility?
I guess there are ties you just can't cut.
What about rations?
I forced some down his throat.
He should last a while.
Thank you, Shikinami.
It's nothing. I didn't do it for his sake.
I'd never let him die selfishly
while he still had his head up his ass.
[crickets chirping]
You want to know my name?
Yeah, I mean we can't keep
on calling you Ms. Look-alike.
The doctor mentioned something
about how you forgot your own name.
So why don't you come up
with a new one on your own?
I can name myself?
[long, sad meow]
LIBRARY
Books...
Shinji mentioned these...
You dropped it, so I'm giving it back.
Thank you.
Wanna read?
"OCHIBI AND THE PORCUPINE"
Thank you.
[penguins squawking]
[Asuka] I'm alone.
Always have been, always will be.
That's just how it is, Asuka.
[movement outside]
Who's there?
[Rei] It's me.
Original Batch?
[Asuka] I'll unlock the door.
They told me Shinji would be here.
He's not here right now. He's run away.
I see. I'll go look for him then.
Let me tell you something.
Just like how it is with the Evas.
We Eva pilots have inhibitors
designed into us
so that we don't breech human limits.
Those inefficient emotions within you
are examples of that.
It's just a design scheme
based on human cognitive behavior.
You Ayanami Series have been adjusted
so that you will hold affection
toward the Third Boy.
The emotions you are feeling right now
have been rigged by NERV.
I see... It doesn't matter.
I'm OK with how I feel.
I see. Then you're on your own.
The object of your affection
is at N109 Tower,
inside the ruins
of the NERV 2nd Branch.
Thank you.
If you're going to see him,
then take some of those rations with you.
He should really be needing
them at this point.
Why aren't you in the village
with the others and working there?
What are you? Stupid?
This isn't a place
I'm supposed to live in.
It's a place I protect.
[Rei] Shinji.
I learned you should return things
someone dropped.
[footsteps approaching]
[gasp]
I'll come again.
[softly crying]
[long and gentle song by female vocalist]
About Shinji...
Is it OK to leave him alone?
Bad things might happen at this rate.
[Kensuke] Let's leave him be for now.
Ikari needs time to himself.
But, Kensuke, aren't you being
a little insensitive towards him?
[Kensuke] Worrying about him too much
won't help any of us.
He'll come back.
Just believe in him.
I guess so.
I hope Shinji gets used to living
in the village sometime soon.
Shinji, why aren't you going
back to the village?
Shinji, you also aren't doing anything.
Are you protecting the village too?
I'm not protecting anything.
I destroyed everything!
I don't wanna talk to anyone.
I don't want anyone to come here!
I just wanna be left alone!
[Shinji sobs]
But why is everyone so kind to me?
It's because we like you.
[sobs]
Thank you, for talking to me.
Let's do something
hoping we can get along.
[angry sobs]
Tired of running away?
Original Batch turned you around?
Did all that wailing about
help you get it out of your system?
Mhh...
Fine then...
If you can move around,
then make yourself useful
and help Ken-Ken.
[Kensuke] Let's hit the road a little.
It will take your mind off things.
I'm a handyman that does everything,
in return for being exempted from taking
part in the core industry of the village,
which is farm work.
Today, we're going to check
the infrastructure at the perimeter
and verify the environmental conditions
It'll be a busy day.
Much of the existing infrastructure
has exhausted its service life.
Since repairing it is very difficult,
we've left it alone.
[Kensuke] We only pick up sticks
that have fallen or prune the lower limbs.
We want to take good care
of the remaining forests.
Life at Village 3 is completely dependent
on the water here.
Checking the water flow is very important.
It's tied directly to the survival
of the village.
Water is the source of life, after all.
I'm going to check on the water source
further up.
The trek is a bit steep,
so stay behind and do some work.
Here, help secure some food for us.
No, I've never done it. I can't do it!
Try first, then talk. Don't sweat it.
Our quota is one fish per week.
There'll be another time to try.
That's WILLE's parting gift.
[Kensuke] It's a complementarity
L-containment field
purification process nullifying unit.
Village 3 has managed to avoid
core-ization thanks to it.
It's all thanks to Ms. Misato
and her group.
[distant rumbling]
[Kensuke] We started seeing
those things recently.
We call them Wanderers.
Headless Evas who were buried,
suddenly got up and started moving about.
We're here to observe them today.
Yeah, the containment pillars
are keeping them away.
I guess those seals are effective
against the Wanderers as well.
There are things a handyman can't do.
If the pillars stop working,
we're screwed.
As you can see,
we're not sure how much time
we have left.
But we're going to struggle on
and live until the very end.
[Hikari] Those are pickled plums.
We look forward to eating them every year.
Life is a continuous cycle
of tough times and good times.
There's nothing wrong with days
that feel like repetition.
I think that's how it is.
Right now is the youngest you'll ever be.
I want to live to the fullest
because I have Tsubame with me.
She's attached to you
more than she is to me.
You should live here with us from now on,
Ms. Look-alike.
My name?
Yeah, have you picked one yet?
No, not yet.
Then, why not have someone
decide it for you?
Give you a name?
Yes, I want you to give me a name.
I want to stay here.
To do that, I need a name.
I want you to give me one.
A name for you?
But you're not Ayanami.
Any name will do.
I want to have a name that you give me.
[Asuka] Is Original Batch
functioning all right?
[Shinji] Yes, she was here today.
Why do you ask?
Nothing... no reason.
Then, the big chestnut suddenly turned
around and ran away...
[short rapid beeps]
[one long beep]
[Rei] I see...
I can only live inside NERV.
[Tohji] So, Shinji, have you gotten used
to living here?
- Uh-hmm. Yeah, a little.
- That's good to hear.
This is a village of people
from far and near,
all strangers to each other before.
But somehow
things are finally settling down.
[Shinji] Was it hard at the beginning?
[Tohji] Well, let's see...
A lot of stuff happened.
It wasn't a world
where kids without spines
could survive without changing fast.
We had to grow up in a hurry
and learn to do everything on our own.
I did things I'm ashamed of.
I did them for the sake
of my family, but still...
It was a world where you wouldn't play
nice if you wanted to survive.
I'm not really a doctor or anything
prestigious like that.
I'm just playing the part of one.
I learned on my own in order
to figure out how to help others.
I only make it by
thanks to the instruments and facilities
that Kredit provides us with.
You should be proud of yourself.
You're helping people, Tohji.
[Tohji] There are lives you can't save,
but I keep on going,
I think it's the doctor's role
to shoulder the sadness and anger
that come along with the losses.
I want to follow through
or make amends for the things
I'm responsible for doing.
That's the stuff that goes
through my head as I live on like this.
Shinji, you've already fought
a life's worth for us.
From now on,
you should stay here and live with us.
That's what I think.
[rooster crowing in the distance]
[Kensuke] Thanks for coming along with me
this early in the morning.
At the time, I never thought my father,
who survived the Near Third Impact,
would die just like that in an accident.
I should have had talks with him,
had some drinks,
and listened to some of his gripes.
Your father's still alive, right?
Even if you think it's a waste of time,
you should sit down
and have a good talk with him.
You'll regret it if you don't.
We're talking about Gendoh Ikari.
It's too tough for him.
[Tohji] Still, father and son...
The ties will always be there.
[crying baby]
[lady C] Ms. Matsukata
had a hard time during labor,
but she pulled through.
[lady A] Thank heavens
she gave birth without a hitch.
Her husband was crying with joy.
[female voice]
Village Background Announcement
[lady B] Ah, well,
you can smile after all!
[lady D] Yes, you're quite cute too.
[lady C] Except you wear
the same thing all the time.
Why don't you change
your clothes for once?
Yes. I'll try wearing something different.
[lady B] Say, why not try this next?
[lady A] Oh, yes, it looks great on you!
[lady D] She is cute!
I'd love to have you
be my daughter-in-law.
[Rei] This is "blushing"?
That is so "cute"!
This is "embarrassed".
[Kensuke] Sorry, this suit's a bit hot,
but keep it on for a while.
I'm the jack-of-all-trades handyman,
but I also do liaison with Kredit.
The L-containment field is weaker here,
so Kredit has
an outdoor laboratory set up.
There is a staff member
that I want you to meet.
[boy] Mr. Aida!
It's been too long, sir.
I'm guessing this is your new assistant?
Yeah, something like that.
I've never met an outsider before.
I'm Kaji. Ryoji Kaji.
What's your name?
[Kensuke] So, what did you think?
Nice guy, isn't he?
[Shinji] Yes, he is.
But, his name... Kaji...
Yeah, he's Misato and Kaji's son.
He'll be 14 soon.
He knows nothing about his parents.
Ms. Misato wants to keep it that way.
She felt that she couldn't be
much of a mother to him,
so she decided she'll stay away
for the rest of her life
and instead protect him
as the head of WILLE.
[Shinji] Um, what happened to Mr. Kaji?
[Kensuke] He d*ed.
Someone had to sacrifice themselves
in order to stop the Near Third Impact.
Mr. Kaji decided he'd be the one.
Ms. Misato let him as well.
Ms. Misato regrets how you got stuck
with all this baggage on your shoulders.
She felt she should've been the one.
I think she doesn't want to let you pilot
an Eva because of that.
Ikari, you're not the only one
who's hurting.
Ms. Misato is in pain as well.
The smell of earth...
Mr. Kaji...
[Kensuke] I've just been told Wunder
will come by tomorrow.
Your return route is all set up.
Here are the records of the village
that Ms. Misato asked for.
There are photos
of the family members of the WILLE crew.
And here's a letter
to Tohji's younger sister.
He asks kindly for your help.
Yeah, got it.
[Shinji] I'm home!
[Rei] These are "tears"?
I'm the one crying?
Is this how it feels to be lonely?
[Hikari] Good morning, Ms. Look-alike.
"Good night. Good morning. Thank you."
"Goodbye."
Good morning!
[Shinji] Good morning. What's up?
You're here early.
[Rei] I wanted to see you, Shinji.
Take this.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Um, about that name you asked about...
There's only one Ayanami.
I can't think of another name.
Thank you.
I'm glad you thought about my name.
I'm very grateful for that.
But I can't live here.
But, I like this place.
Ayanami?
Now that I know what "like" is,
I'm happy.
[increasingly rapid beeps]
Ayanami, what's wrong?
I wanted to harvest the rice.
I wanted to hold Tsubame more.
[gasp]
I wanted to be
with the boy I like... forever.
[worried gasp]
Goodbye.
Ayanami!
[Hikari] Really?
Ms. Look-alike isn't with you?
What's wrong?
[softly sobbing]
[helicopter noise and a whistle blowing]
[very loud vehicles]
[Kensuke]
So that's the Wunder, huh?
Jeez, it's huge!
Those must be the people
leaving the ship.
Guess the final battle
is right around the corner.
Hey, stop filming me!
[Kensuke] I'm sorry, but today,
I want to film it all.
Fine. Do as you please, then.
[friendly barking]
What are you doing here?
Ikari, you can stay behind, you know.
Thank you, Kensuke.
Please give my thanks to Tohji
and the others.
Asuka, I'll go with you.
OK. Well, these are the rules, so...
[bang and gasp]
Sakura...
Ms. Sakura Suzuhara?
I said don't pilot any more Evas,
but you ran away and did just that!
You jerk! You absolute jerk!
You're such a jerk, Mr. Ikari!
[sobs]
What are you? His wife?
[Sakura cries in anger]
The status of the escapee
has been verified.
As of now, I will take over responsibility
of BM-03's monitoring and restrainment.
Please sign here, Temporary Special
Senior Major Langley-Shikinami.
No DSS choker?
[Sakura] There's no need.
He will be safeguarded
within the blast containment chamber
until the end of the mission.
[announcer] Monitored Target Subject
BM-03 has arrived at Chamber 2.
Ready detonation systems.
[Asuka] So this is considered
the most secure method for neutralization
since the choker was disabled so easily.
[Sakura]
MAGI-Copy has record of choker activation.
It seems its activation triggered
an expl*si*n and death
that was witnessed by the other pilot.
[metal clanking]
Even after experiencing that trauma,
he still decided to return
to the Wunder.
Why?
[Asuka] Can't say.
Frankly, Captain Katsuragi granting him
permission to board
is more of a mystery to me.
The liaison handed me records
regarding Village 3 and personal
correspondence from Suzuhara.
From my big brother?
[emotional breath]
[announcer] Chamber 2's total enclosure
and emergency blast activation system
is online.
The quarantine procedures
for Monitored Target Subject BM-03
is now complete.
[crying]
We won't have any issue dealing
with supplementing the work assignments
left vacant by the departing crew.
Work on New Unit 2 is proceeding smoothly,
Sit-rep on work on the main g*n turrets
and ship's exterior?
[worker 1] Replacement of Turret 4
and aft turret is proceeding nominally.
[worker 2] Work on Eva
in the ships external dock
is lagging behind by a total of 3%.
[Ibuki] Speed is Priority One.
We're going to rush through
one-fifth of the checklist, got it?
Yes, ma'am!
[announcer] N1 Rocket's secondary
coupling will restart in 5 minutes.
[Kitakami] It's one thing
to have Major Shikinami rejoin us.
But why did that troublemaker
come along with her?
[Aoba] It's better than leaving him
in the wild
so NERV can take advantage of him.
[Tama] Unrestricted sh**t-to-k*ll orders
have been issued to the crew
if he should attempt to pilot an Eva.
That's pretty reassuring.
[Kitakami] That's just talk, no substance.
I mean the Captain didn't neutralize him
when he last escaped.
At this point,
my faith in her has hit rock bottom.
We're talking about a child.
I understand her hesitation.
That "child" brought
about the Near Third Impact
and k*lled all members
of my family except me.
It was the consequence of his actions.
He didn't intend it.
Captain is fully devoted to making
atonement for what happened.
[Takao] I agree.
Kaji entrusted WILLE with her.
I feel I can trust her
until the ends of the Earth.
You are too soft on her
because you're close to her.
You just think she can redeem herself,
just like how someone's piss
could be purified
to become drinking water.
That's not how this works.
[announcer] No problems detected
in tests for connecting JA parts
to New Unit 2.
Proceed as scheduled with work
on the independent coordination systems
of the left arm.
They've added even more expl*sives.
It looks like they're losing faith in us.
I'm back.
Welcome back, Your Highness!
Great work out there.
Jeez, look at this place.
What happened to purging?
You've hoarded even more books.
Books are the aggregate
of human intellect.
My impossible dream is
to read every single book of all history
and from every corner of the world.
Any progress with doggy?
Who cares. Not interested.
Ah... So you're not interested
in cute boys at all?
That child doesn't need a lover.
He needs a mother.
[announcer] All loading from logistic
support ships has been completed.
All logistics officers remaining
on support ships should vacate and return
to the Wunder immediately.
[Ritsuko] This is where you signed
to permit the operational independence
of Kredit
and removal of all restrictions
on the Evas,
Captain Katsuragi.
[beep]
The document has been certified
with the signatures
of the Captain and the XO.
Maya, please get started.
[Ibuki] Roger, Senior XO.
You're always here
when you want to be alone.
Maybe we should have this
be the captain's quarters?
I suppose it's hard to cut yourself off
from Ryoji, isn't it?
It's not about Kaji.
I can relax here. That's all.
[Ritsuko] Well, this section houses
the primary mission of this ship:
an ark serving to preserve
every single life form.
Its mission ensured
by an unmanned totally autonomous system
that can operate independently
for a near-perpetuity.
The Wunder's true nature
is to be such an ark.
[Misato] For Kaji, the preservation
of humanity wasn't very important.
He held the highest priority
on preserving all the diverse life forms
that the Human Instrumentality Project
would obliterate.
He wanted to evacuate as many seeds
of life as possible outside of the Earth.
Aiming to realize this plan,
he seized this ship from NERV
while it was still being built.
He felt it was impossible for humanity
to stop the Instrumentality Project.
But in the end, he was able to stop
the Third Impact by sacrificing his life.
He k*lled himself, contradicting himself,
and being selfish all at once.
Super exasperating jerk!
But here we are without him.
As such, I am going to use this ship
to destroy NERV
and thwart
their Human Instrumentality Project.
[Ritsuko] So you can get revenge?
[Misato] No, instead of being an ark
that preserves life,
she will be a combat ship
that saves lives.
As words spoken by a mother,
they carry real legitimacy.
I have no right
to hold such qualification.
[Aoba] The Captain and the XO
are on the navigation bridge.
[announcer] NERV HQ has started moving.
Accompanied by The Black Moon
that is standing erect,
it is believed to be moving
toward Ground Zero
in the former location of the South Pole.
[thunderous noise and rumble]
[Fuyutsuki]
The restoration of The Black Moon,
a precondition for the Fourth Impact
to take place...
The resurrection
of the Advanced Ayanami series,
untainted life forms
made with pure souls,
free of sexual distinction,
which shall become the sacrificial
offering to the Vessel of the Adams.
And the Human Instrumentality Project,
humanity's attempt of self-salvation.
All that arrogance leads to this, I see.
The Third Boy has returned to WILLE.
As Ayanami Number 6
was not properly calibrated,
it seems to have lost its form.
Did you have your son to suffer
the same sense of loss you experienced
to teach him something,
Ikari?
[Ritsuko] Well, he seems
to be psychologically stable.
So, Captain Katsuragi,
what are you going to do with the boy
provisionally named Shinji Ikari?
Never meet him again, just like your son?
You're sure he doesn't need to have a...
You're sure he doesn't need a DSS choker?
There is no point in redemption
unless there is a will to atone
for your sins.
Misato, I know
under that stoic façade of yours,
you are ecstatic about Shinji
returning to you.
Acting on sentimental emotions
only leads to deep trouble.
You know that first hand.
[Misato]
You don't pull punches, as always.
Letting you off the hook
leads me to deep trouble.
I know that first hand.
[Asuka] Hardly anything
with this body changes,
with the sole exception of my hair.
How annoying!
[Mari] Gods, corruption, and desires,
they dwell within the fibers of hair.
It's an apt representation
of the chaotic nature of mankind.
It's unequivocal proof
that you are a human,
Your Highness.
[crashing noise]
[Fuyutsuki] The cursed Ground Zero
of the Second Impact.
All the Vessels of the Adams are ready.
The reactivation of the Unit 13
is only a matter of time.
The reactivation of the Unit 13
is only a matter of time.
[Gendoh] Right. Let us start, Fuyutsuki.
Take care of the rest.
[loud signal]
[Fuyutsuki] So far, everything is going
according to SEELE's scenario.
- [loud crash]
- Go on, Shinji!
Do this for yourself!
Do it to make your wish come true!
[four buzzes]
[Ritsuko calling]
Captain, I have bad news.
NERV HQ has arrived
at its final destination.
We're detecting signs that
the reactivation of Unit 13 has started.
So what you're telling me
is we are running short on time.
[Ritsuko]
Yes, but I have good news.
The shutdown signal plug has been built.
While at their bare minimum states,
both Eva units are ready.
Understood.
All stations: prepare for launch!
[Misato] Have all current work
end in 25 minutes.
This ship gets underway in 30 minutes!
[Ritsuko] As usual,
you're asking for the impossible.
All stations: prepare for launch
in battle stations condition 2!
We disembark in 25 minutes.
All hands: complete tasks
within 20 minutes.
[announcer] I repeat. All stations: ready
launch in battle station condition 1.
Make final adjustments to position
the unmanned fleet at its launch position.
N1 Rocket propellant injection complete.
Switching to internal power.
Final status check is a "go".
All extravehicular work crew
must vacate
immediately!
[Tama] You've got a bundle on your arm,
don't you, Chief Engineer Takao?
Yeah, one for each comrade who d*ed
when we rose against NERV.
[Nagara] Those were the bandanas you
used to indicate you were a rebel, right?
[Takao] Yeah, we want to return
the sea and the land back to this color.
It's the symbol of our promise.
Thank you.
This bandana has become Ryoji's memento.
[Kaji] Take care of yourself, Katsuragi!
[Misato] Truth be told,
I wanted to stay behind
with Kaji back then.
[Ritsuko] I'm sure you did.
If you weren't expecting,
you might have been able to.
I need to go to battle stations,
so I'll be at sickbay.
Mr. Ikari, please don't go anywhere.
Use the red button to call me,
if you need.
I'll be on my way.
[Mari] An extra deep-depth, pressure-
resistant, experimental plug suit.
Seems it's brand spanking new.
[Asuka] I'm sure it's a fresh batch
cut from virgin fabric.
We're wearing these to our funeral.
[worker] New Unit 2, JA reactor activated.
Power output is stable.
Energy circulation initiated.
Unit 8 improved coupling
with the Dragon Carrier is nominal.
[Ibuki]
No point testing decoupling systems.
You're going for the real deal
from the very get-go!
[worker] Extracting temporary cage's
final lock bolt.
Eva units are currently being
positioned for launch.
Four-Eyed Crony,
let's take a little detour.
Roger!
[announcer] Adjusting New Unit 2
and Unit 8 Improved entry plug
to insertion position.
Who is it?
Um, I have no idea.
I'll give you a hint.
Rooftop and glasses...
Big boobs...
The parachute girl?
Bingo!
I should introduce myself.
I'm Mari Illustrious-Makinami.
Nice to meet you again, WILLE Puppy.
Huh, you've changed a bit.
I guess you're more grown up.
Give me a break!
This brat doesn't change so easily.
Since this is farewell,
I want to ask you something.
[Asuka] Did you figure out
why I wanted to clobber you?
It's because I couldn't make up my mind.
When you were inside Unit 3,
I didn't help you, and I didn't k*ll you.
I did nothing to, escape responsibility.
Well, I see you've matured a little.
Since this is farewell,
let me tell you something.
That boxed lunch you made for me,
it was pretty tasty.
I think I had a crush on you back then.
But I've grown into an adult ahead of you.
So long.
You've done great.
You should be proud of yourself,
Shinji Ikari.
See ya!
[Mari] Feeling better, Your Highness?
[Asuka] Yeah, I'm fine.
[announcer] Both Eva pilots have begun
boarding their respective entry plugs.
Shinji, you need to find a place
to rest that you can call your own.
The ties that bind you
will show you the way.
We'll meet again.
You're right, Kaworu.
[Takao] APU power output stable.
Main engine threshold achieved.
Thrust increasing
to 11 million 600 thousand tons.
[Nagara] Gyrocompass in operation.
Helm and gravity controls: all green.
Both Evas secured in launch position.
Start entry sequence.
Routing power to main g*ns.
No abnormalities in energy flow.
Unmanned fleet
has been locked into position for launch.
Suspend extravehicular work detail.
Non-combatants: stand by!
All stations are now
in battle stations condition 1.
Captain, all stations ready for launch.
We're now ready to storm NERV HQ.
Roger.
Captain to crew:
In order to irreversibly prevent
the Fourth Impact from happening,
this ship will now as*ault NERV HQ
currently positioned
at the former South Pole Ground Zero.
Wunder
will execute Operation Yamato,
the neutralization of Eva Unit 13,
which can trigger the Rites of Doom.
We'll bring an end to all this chaos
once and for all.
Now launch Wunder!
[Ritsuko] Entry sequence complete.
Command control has been transferred
to the battle bridge.
[Kitakami] Reaching seed
storage units' ejection point.
[Misato] Roger.
Sever Wunder's linkage to storage units.
Make them switch to independent
internal power and control systems.
Eject all seed storage units.
[Aoba on intercom]
All units ejected into L5.
Autonomous systems functioning nominal.
Initiate descent to target. Begin reentry.
[Nagara] Roger. Initiating reentry.
[Aoba] Monitoring systems
are back on line.
[Nagara] Proceeding to former South Pole
ground zero area.
Making contact with L-containment
field barrier surface.
Navigating L-containment
field barrier surface.
All systems go.
Above the L-containment field,
an area that refuses
all life born of original sin.
[Takao] Now humanity is advancing
through this purified area
without being blessed.
All thanks to the data Kaji retrieved
and the Anti-L systems.
[Nagara] Two-zero to dive possible point
in the L-containment field.
Roger. All stations: ready for dive.
Starboard hull 2 hit! Damage unknown!
Enemy ship sighted at 3 o'clock!
[Ritsuko] Number 2 ship Erlösung
with Opfer Type systems!
So she was completed after all.
I'm sorry,
but I'm afraid you're going
to have to indulge Ikari
with his games a bit more.
They must be trying to buy time
to prevent the reactivation of Unit 13.
That ship could also slay gods.
She won't be a pushover.
Mano-a-mano sounds just fine.
Starboard g*ns, ready to fire!
We'll hold that NERV ship at bay
until we get to our diving point.
Fire!
[screams of terror]
We've taken multiple hits!
Their firepower is much greater!
sh*t. How can that ship be
the same class as ours?
We're still incomplete,
while that ship was fully finished.
Be that as it may,
our main engine is much better.
[Nagara] We can now dive
into the L-containment field, Captain!
- Emergency dive!
- Aye aye!
Passing through first layer
of the L-containment field.
Now entering second layer.
L-containment field strength density
is plus three zero.
Dead ahead 12 o'clock!
There's a swarm of Eva Infinities!
No matter. We'll blitz right through them.
Enemy vessel sighted
at our stern at 12 o'clock!
It's an ambush!
Number 3 ship, The Erbsünde!
We're between a rock and a hard place.
[Tama] This is bad!
Our navigation will fail
if we're hit anymore!
Take out the No. 3 ship first.
She's incomplete.
Helm steady. Maximum combat speed!
[Nagara] Aye aye!
[blending, screaming and screeching]
[Fuyutsuki]
No. 3 ship is taking evasive action.
Ram into her! Don't let her escape!
[Kitakami] This is nuts!
[Misato] Turn us around! Roll 180 degrees.
Get them to take up our position.
[Nagara] Aye aye.
[Fuyutsuki] Using the No.3 ship
as a shield, I see.
Humph, she's as reckless as always.
[Kitakami] We've broken through
the swarms of Eva Infinities.
Now entering into the 3rd layer
of L-containment field.
[Aoba] Acquired target: NERV HQ.
It has traversed to a position
under The Black Moon.
Unit 13's reactivation is imminent.
The No. 2 and No. 3 ships
are gaining on our aft.
We're out of time.
[Misato] Use The Black Moon as cover
and set course for as*ault on NERV HQ.
Ready launch of guided munitions.
Set target to Unit 13,
readjustment sector.
NERV Battleships approaching
our aft at 6 o'clock!
Adjust Wunder's altitude to minimize
areas vulnerable to enemy fire.
Aye aye!
Blow port gravity ballast, down two-zero.
Priority One on safeguarding
our ships attached to the main wings.
Concentrate our AT Field!
Aft main g*n hit! Heavy damage!
They're b*ating us to a pulp!
Hold it together! Just make it
to the launch point in one piece.
One-Zero until guided munitions
launch point.
Trajectory clear!
Launch all guided munitions!
Launching all guided munitions.
[heroic music]
[Aoba] We have visual confirmation
of our final target, Unit 13!
As we thought, it hasn't reactivated yet.
Unit 13 is still immobile.
[Kitakami] Eva 7 series is inbound.
There are way too many of them!
Systems can't keep up!
Forget the cannon fodder.
Expedite launching of our two Evas!
Maya, ready launch of Unit 2 and 8.
Roger. Readying launch of Unit 2 and 8.
Launch them now!
Mari, Asuka, I'm counting on you.
Out of my way!
Comin' through!
Grrrrrrahhhh!
Ahhhh! Comin' through!
It's hit!
Yargh!
[shouting]
Yaaaa!
Four-eyed Crony, give me my next piece!
Here ya go!
[yelling]
Ah-ahr-argh!
[yelling]
Hah!
[Mari] Princess!
You!
[Asuka] Mock Evas want to g*ng up
and stop us from getting through?
Annoying shits!
- Four-eyed Crony, lend me a hand!
- I gotcha!
Grrrr!
Nrrrrrrr!
Both our Evas landed on NERV HQ!
[Asuka]
Our target must be below that crater.
Damn it!
You're such a pain in the ass!
[Mari] Go ahead, Your Highness!
[Asuka] I owe you one, Four-Eyed Crony.
[Asuka] Eva Unit 13.
We made it.
Even if they call it "God's Eva",
that doesn't change the fact
that it's the 13th multipurpose humanoid
defensive w*apon built by man.
Once the shutdown override signal plug
is inserted into the core,
we may not destroy it,
but it'll remain immobilized.
This ends...
Now!
Yeeeeeeeeh!
An AT Field?
Unit 13 isn't supposed
to have an AT field.
Why?
Wait a minute,
is this my own Eva's AT field?
Is my New Unit 2 afraid of Unit 13?
There is something wrong here.
What are you scheming, Gendoh?
This is weird.
The NERV battleships are pulling back.
They're descending.
That's the cursed ground zero
of the Second Impact,
the Calvary base!
The Gates of Hell are open once more.
Does this mean...
The Wings of Light?
Are they trying to start the Fourth Impact
the way they did the Second Impact?
No, ships built as the Guardians of Guf
shouldn't be able to become the trigger.
Besides, what's happening
to The Black Moon isn't part of the plan.
This isn't part of SEELE's scenario.
This is a rite we know nothing about.
A totally unpredicted Another Impact,
I see. This changes
nothing.
We will crush any
and all plans NERV intends to carry out!
Ready our main g*ns.
Take out No. 3 ship first.
Every available g*n: target No. 3 ship!
[Misato] Ready Super EM
direct impact shells.
Do not wait for calculations.
All turrets: initiate fire.
The construction plans specified
No. 4 ship as well.
[Misato] Fire!
Sit-rep!
Direct hit!
Our starboard and port secondary hulls
have been impaled by something!
Our stern has been damaged.
Main g*n systems are now down!
[Ritsuko] The No. 4 ship, Gebet.
We've fallen into their trap.
[Asuka] In either case, the final impact
is going to involve this Eva.
We've got to take care
of this thing right now.
It's right in front of me,
but I can't get through.
Time for the last resort.
I'm sorry, New Unit 2.
I have to make things rough for you.
Disable all restrictors.
Backdoor code: Triple Nine.
Pattern blue!
I have readings of the 9th Angel
within NERV HQ!
Princess! Are you going to use
the power of an angel?
Ready Angel Blood.
Full injection now!
[screams of pain, cracking noises]
Help!
[ferocious growl]
Princess, you won't be human anymore!
I'll neutralize the New Unit 2's AT field
using my own AT field!
[warrior scream]
[ferocious roar]
It's not a single entry plug system?
Crap! Gendoh wanted Princess
to become an Angel!
[weird self-contented laugh]
[more laughter]
[Asuka] Shikinami type?
My original, huh.
[softer laughter]
[original Asuka]
The last Eva's form mirrors that of a god.
All you need to do is accept me
along with my love.
Come to me.
[frightened gasp]
Sorry, tough luck!
That's pointless, idiot.
Asuka!
All data links with the New Unit 2s
have been lost!
Pilot status unknown.
N2 reactor APU: heavy damage!
sh*t! What do we do now?
It's something like an Eva!
It's attached itself to the ship!
[Ritsuko] Pattern Blue.
It must be an Opfer Type Eva.
They built a Mk.9 and pilot from scratch?
This is so bad!
Our ship's being physically infiltrated!
Expunge it now!
We're trying. Contamination speed
is too fast, we can't keep up.
[emergency beeps]
[Aoba] Mk.9 has broken through
the VD firewall!
We're screwed!
All control systems h*jacked!
Well, this is a real pickle to be in.
As always,
Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki is impressive.
[Fuyutsuki]
The artificial recreation of Lilith.
The Forced conversion
of The Black Moon to become spears.
The stage is set.
How will you bring the drama to a close,
Ikari?
[Aoba] Confirming intruder
on the forward deck
near the stern!
Commander Ikari.
I'm sorry, Princess.
I'm filled with unbearable shame.
I guess I have to withdraw for the moment.
[Misato] It's been some time...
Commander Ikari.
[Gendoh] I compliment you
on your hard work, Colonel Katsuragi.
I shall now employ this ship
as previously planned.
It's you!
sh**t first, ask questions later, I see.
As before, no hesitation to do anything
to accomplish the mission.
Yes, I learned that
as being a virtue from you.
[Gendoh] Gods need no barriers.
We accept absolutely everything
that comes our way.
Gendoh Ikari,
You used the Key of Nebuchadnezzar
and abandoned your humanity?
I merely appended upon my body
information that lies
outside the logos of our realm.
There are no problems.
I'll slay the Gods,
bind them with humanity,
and through the sacrifice of Angels,
enable the deification
and fulfill the instrumentality
of humankind.
And you intend to sacrifice
Asuka to do this? Answer me Ikari!
The Ayanami-and Shikinami-type pilots
were prepared specifically
for this moment.
There are no problems.
[Misato] Humanity?
No.
Ancient life of this planet
is being commoditized.
All souls are converted to cores,
and merged with the Eva Infinities.
Is this the start of the Fourth Impact?
Correct.
The Second Impact purified the oceans.
The Third Impact purified the earth.
The Fourth shall purify the souls.
The cores that form the Eva Infinities
are the materialization of souls.
We'll cast aside our vessel,
the seeds of man,
and our collective intelligence
will be guided to unsullied Paradise
in this final rite.
In exchange for bringing about
the Second Impact,
your father, Dr. Katsuragi,
proved the validity of his proposal,
the Human Instrumentality Project.
I will stop my father's raving gibberish
at all costs.
Having tasted the fruit of knowledge,
only two paths await humanity.
Be exterminated by the Angels
that have eaten the fruit of life,
or exterminate the Angels
and rob them of their seats before God,
surrender our intellect
and become the divine offspring,
children of the Gods,
and enjoy eternity existence.
We must choose one of these two fates.
NERV's Human Instrumentality Project
was the product
of SEELE choosing the latter,
a feeble resistance against the Gods
that employed the powers of Adam,
nevertheless,
a worthwhile cause to pursue.
We will not choose for a reset of despair
that subjugates ourselves to the Gods,
and instead choose
the continued option of hope.
I have faith
that humanity's will and knowledge
will one day overcome
the power of the Gods.
[Gendoh] It's all a matter
of interpretation of the truth.
Colonel Katsuragi,
you are forsaking the world.
Doctor Akagi, you are blind
to what happiness has to offer.
Human sentiments cannot change anything.
All the horsemen have assembled now.
So I will now have you return Eva Unit 1
that I lent to you.
Father!
[Tohji] We all survived
the Near Third Impact.
I'm going to believe in our luck
and Ms. Misato's WILLE.
[Ritsuko] Beyond the Doors of Guf
is the anti-universe,
a realm Wunder cannot enter.
Sadly, WILLE no longer has the ability
to stop the Instrumentality Project.
We're at the end of our rope.
Ms. Misato?
I'll pilot Eva Unit 1.
[ferocious growl]
[yelling]
[Shinji] On my way back home
after Ayanami disappeared,
I noticed the smell of earth.
I learned that smell
from Mr. Kaji.
Ms. Misato, I want to take
half the burden off of you.
Doing that means
you're going to fight Gendoh Ikari.
I want to settle this for myself.
Wait a second!
Are you joking?
You're not going to let him
pilot an Eva, are you?
I was afraid something like this
might happen.
You permitted us to sh**t to k*ll
in situations like this, right Captain?
You're a plague!
That N3I you started
made our lives a living hell!
This is all the fault
of you and your father!
I'll never forgive you two.
Sakura?
Shinji Ikari won't pilot an Eva.
Mr. Ikari piloted an Eva
and brought misfortune on us
and upon himself!
That's why Mr. Ikari won't pilot
an Eva!
I'm sorry, Ms. Sakura.
Please, let me pilot the Eva.
You're talking total hogwash, Mr. Ikari!
Once you're hurt,
you won't have to worry about piloting.
I know this will hurt, but it's
better than having to be the pilot.
Please forgive me!
Misato!
Captain!
Misato!
[Misato] It's OK, Shinji.
If you hadn't piloted Eva Unit 1
we would have already been exterminated.
That's why I'm grateful to you.
Even if N3I happened as a consequence.
I am entirely responsible
for your actions.
I, Misato Katsuragi, still has custody
of Shinji Ikari.
I'll take full responsibility
for his subsequent actions.
Right now, I want to entrust
everything to Shinji.
That's right, we're all in debt
to Mr. Ikari for saving us!
But my father, and so many others,
were lost to N3I!
Mr. Ikari is our savior and our destroyer!
This is all too messed up,
but this is all we can do!
[Kitakami] It's all right.
Let it go, Sakura.
Let's just think about
what we do in the future.
[crying]
[Sakura] This is... all so...
[Mari] Sorry there, folks!
Doing some prep work made me late.
Now let's go...
...doggy!
[Ritsuko] Maya, get us the plug suit
that's stored in the Captain's quarters.
The b*llet will dissolve quickly.
I'll do first aid on you.
It's OK, Second Lieutenant.
Shinji Ikari,
the only thing a son can do for his father
is pat him on his shoulder... or k*ll him.
That's something Kaji used to say to me.
Ms. Misato, you should know
I met Ryoji Kaji.
Was he well?
Yes.
[sigh]
That's good to hear.
He was such a nice guy.
I only talked to him for a short while,
but I liked him.
Thank you.
I'll back you up.
I'm counting on you, Shinji.
Yeah.
I'll go now, Ms. Misato.
Take care, Shinji.
Let's get back to work.
[Ritsuko] The ship is falling apart,
we don't have a main engine
or the auxiliary.
It's a miracle we're still afloat.
Yes, I agree.
And we'll need to do another miracle
before the backup power runs out.
[Mari] Eva Unit 8 improved
is overlapping-compliant.
By incorporating Vessel of the Adams,
it's in an extra four-in-one state.
Thanks to that, we're able to navigate
through the anti-universe pretty easily.
OK, doggy.
Your job is to somehow destroy Unit 13
before all the anti-L systems fail
and everybody above becomes core-ized.
That's the only way we're going
to be able to turn things around.
I understand.
[Mari] But Jeez, Gendoh sure is sly!
Taking advantage of the fact
we're in the anti-universe,
he's doing quantum teleportation.
Catching him ain't gonna be easy.
It's OK, Ms. Mari. I'll go now.
Doggy!
There's a chance the Princess's soul
might be left over inside Unit 13.
So the Princess...
Asuka needs your help.
I got it.
Ayanami...
I will come for you,
no matter where you are!
So listen.
You wait for me. You hear, Shinji?
I'll wait for you.
Thank you.
Good luck.
Are you fine with this, Rei?
Ayanami...
Shinji...
I'm sorry.
I tried so that you wouldn't have
to pilot an Eva anymore, but I failed.
It's OK. Thank you, Ayanami.
I'll take it from here.
Yes, please.
So, Unit 1's pilot has awakened, has he?
[Ibuki] I'm getting transmissions
from the anti-universe
via Unit 8.
Improved Eva Unit 1 has reactivated.
[Kitakami]
That doesn't make any sense at all!
The troublemaker's synch rate was zero!
Could it be that Shinji's
true synchronization wasn't zero,
but the closest value to zero?
Yes, his synch rate is...
...infinite.
So, you've managed to transform it
to become Cassius, the spear of hope.
You've got to stop this, Father!
No, I can't. I have deeds...
to perforrrrrrrrrm!
What does that man plan to do
by forcefully causing Another Impact?
There can be only one reason
for causing Another Impact.
He had a new spear created
to cause the Fourth Impact,
but then he reserved two spears
until the very end,
probably to realize one single wish.
[Kitakami] That's so stupid.
What an egotistical jerk!
We'll be reunited soon, Yui.
[Shinji] What? I can't move!
Father, let me go!
What is that?
[Gendoh] That is the Golgotha Object.
Some, who were not human beings,
left behind in this place six spears,
the Adams, and the world of the Gods.
My wife, your mother, was here as well.
This is the Promised Land,
the place where everything started.
There are things men cannot change,
except here.
This is the one and only place,
even Fate may be bent to one's will.
[Shinji] Where are we?
The Eva cage?
What is this place?
[Gendoh] This is the world
of your memories.
Father?
[Gendoh] Our senses
are useless in the anti-universe
to formulate tangible perception.
For that reason, the LCL has created
a virtual environment that's recognizable.
Hand over Unit 1 without delay.
Then, you too will be able
to meet your mother again.
[Gendoh] So you intend to put up
a futile resistance?
This is why I dislike children.
[Gendoh] Fine!
We'll take the long way then.
[exhaling with a loud roar]
[grunt of determination]
[ferocious growl]
[growl]
[Shinji] What's going on?
Our moves are the same.
This is hard.
[Gendoh] The two Evas
are perfect counterparts.
Unit 1 embodies hope.
Unit 13, despair.
They are synchronized
and attuned to each other.
This also is a rite of passage
I must pass.
[gasps] Please stop this, Father!
[Gendoh] It's useless.
Your feeble powers will not stop me.
You still don't understand.
You still don't...
[ferocious growl]
Your powers are meaningless.
v*olence and fear are not the criteria
upon which our conflict can be resolved.
[whimpering]
[Gendoh] That's right.
This is not something
that can be resolved through might.
[Shinji] Yes, I want to talk to you.
Father?
Father, what are you trying to do here?
[Gendoh] I am doing something that can
only be done here at the Golgotha Object.
The Additional Impact
that paves the way
through which I may slay the Gods.
And so to that end,
I delivered two spears upon this land.
[Ritsuko] MAGI-Copy predicts
that Commander Ikari will exhaust
the last two spears at the very end.
Once all the spears are gone,
Shinji won't be able
to stop the initiation.
Then what the hell do we do?
We'll make a new spear
and deliver it to him.
That's impossible.
Just how do you plan to do that?
[Misato] While this ship was h*jacked
and reverted to the Buße,
the ships used The Black Moon
as raw material to create unknown spears.
So there must be a way
this ship can create a new spear.
When Wunder is imbued with human
will it could work another miracle.
I believe in Ritsuko's intelligence
and the spirit residing
within WILLE and Wunder.
That's absolutely reckless.
There's only data from when
the previous formulation took place.
I bet that's enough for you.
[phone rings]
I suppose. I'll give it a sh*t.
I think the key will lie
with the spinal linkage system.
Maya, I'm sorry,
but we'll have to do this on the fly.
No problem, XO senpai.
That's what we always do.
Hey, Chief Boatswain!
The backup power
and the spinal linkage system
is still good to go!
Let's go ahead and work on swapping out
the components right here directly!
No, wait!
You need to get out of there!
Just being nearby that thing
might harm you!
Duty calls for this last job!
Let's do what we can, Chief Boatswain!
- This is the problem with young men.
- Right!
Let's get started on aiding Shinji
before Commander Ikari does
something nuts.
- Yes, ma'am!
- Yes, ma'am!
Eva 1 pilot,
there's something I want to show you.
[Shinji] That's...
Black Lilith?
I see your memory leads you
to see it as such.
This is Evangelion Imaginary.
Dr. Katsuragi predicted
the existence of this Eva.
An Eva that is imaginary and fictional,
and does not exist in our world.
Only humanity,
with its ability to believe equally
in both fantasy and reality,
can perceive this Eva.
The spears of despair and hope
feed off each other as sacrifice,
and act as a trigger.
The imaginary and reality blend together.
Everything becomes
h*m* information.
And thus begins the Additional Impact,
the process that rewrites
not only our cognition,
but the entire world as well.
This is the only means
by which my wish can be granted.
This is the Additional Impact?
[Ritsuko] Yes, that's probably
Eva Imaginary.
I never thought it really existed.
This is crazy.
It's totally nuts!
[Fuyutsuki] I see, so it finally begins.
Ah, it's you.
It's been quite some time,
Professor Fuyutsuki.
But I gotta say,
isn't the L-containment field density
pretty damn high in this ship?
Well, this ship was
never designed to be manned.
I realize I'm being reckless.
The ray of light called hope
eternally shines upon humanity.
but humanity also drowns themselves,
clinging on to the malaise known as hope.
I believe
both Ikari and I have clung to the disease
called hope for far too long.
[Mari] Gendoh's wish is to be
the focal point of human instrumentality.
I can sympathize
with how you want to help him
or actually,
how your wish overlaps with his.
But sir, I'd rather not drag down
the whole of humanity with you,
you know what I mean?
I can understand. My job here is finished.
I've assembled the things you wanted.
Do as you see best fit...
...Mary Iscariot!
Wow, it's been forever
since I've been called that name.
Righty-oh. Bye-bye.
Yui.
Is this what you wanted?
[weapons f*ring]
[roar of clanking metal]
We've gotten it loose!
We can get this to work now!
[Ritsuko] Captain, we can do this
with just the crew that's with us here.
[Misato] Roger. All hands: abandon ship.
[emergency signal]
[Aoba] All hands: abandon ship.
I repeat. All hands! Abandon ship!
Priority One to wounded personnel.
Head to the escape pods now.
[Mari] All the Vessels of the Adams,
the Opfer Type Evas, are here, I see.
As always
Professor Fuyutsuki sure runs
a tight ship.
Sorry but you guys...
Nahhhh!
You're gonna be meat to enhance...
Argh!
...my Eva's overlapping!
[scary growl]
[Mari] Now we're at 8 plus 9 plus 10.
Plus eleven!
All right, just...
...one more to go!
[announcer] Escape pods 1 through 4
have their hatches closed.
Any remaining crew must rush
to Escape Pod 5 immediately.
I need to go.
I need to get back to the helm.
Our only job now is to survive.
No matter how bitter it feels.
[Ritsuko] Captain, the swapping out
is done. I think we can give it a go now.
Roger.
Direct helm control systems
to the Captain's seat.
You are to evacuate immediately.
Misato?
Someone has to stay behind and make
absolutely sure activation starts.
And I have final responsibility
over this ship.
Ritsuko, look after the lives
that survive this,
all the children left behind.
I understand, Misato. I will do my best.
Thank you.
[Misato] We're low on EM power reserves.
When all else fails...
...legacy reaction propulsion engines
are the way to go, I guess.
[mournful screech of metal]
[Mari] The Lilin won't be...
...needing you anymore.
Rest in peace, Adams.
The Wunder is on the move.
I gotta join up with them.
But, oh boy...
Attempt to realize the instrumentality
of both humanity's physical
and mental beings simultaneously?
So Gendoh, what now?
Tell me, Father, what do you wish for?
I chose a world that you refused,
a world where there are no AT fields,
where humanity shares
one heart and mind equally.
There are no barriers between individuals,
nor disparities of wealth,
nor discrimination, nor wars, nor abuse,
nor pain, nor sorrow.
A world of only pure unsoiled souls.
And it is a very restful world
where I can be with Yui again.
Yui... Yui!
Yui!
Yui... Yui!
Yui, where are you?
Where are you, Yui?
Everybody here is Rei?
Where?
Where are you?
Yui?
Father, you have to stop this.
Why? What are you doing here Shinji?
I'm here because I want
to learn about you.
I stayed away from you
even when I was lonely.
I did that because I was afraid
I'd finally find out if you disliked me...
...or not.
I want to know now.
To know you, Father.
An AT field?
But I got rid of my humanity!
Could it be that I am afraid of...
...Shinji?
Me?
This wasn't something...
...I should get rid of.
It was something
I should return to you, Father.
So, you were just like me.
Yes, I was.
Headphones cut me off
from the outside world.
They protected me
from the noise of others,
helped me feign indifference.
But when I met Yui,
I no longer needed them.
[Yui] Have you chosen a name?
[Gendoh] Shinji if it's a boy.
Rei if it's a girl.
[Yui] Shinji... Rei...
[chuckles]
[baby crying]
[Gendoh] I never knew my parents' love,
and yet I became a parent.
There is no question
this world is unstable,
imperfect, and irrational.
It is a world where things breakdown
if you take at face value what people say.
People say different things
at different times.
Which is the truth?
What am I supposed to accept?
Probably the speaker was insincere
in both instances.
They were speaking
what they really felt at the time.
I feared forming bonds with people.
I disliked a world brimming with them.
My childhood was filled
with days I was alone.
So I never felt lonely.
But there are those in society
that would scorn such an existence.
I hated going to other people's houses.
I despised having to go to the dwellings
of classmates that didn't interest me,
visiting relatives at their homes,
forced to confront
the circumstances of their lives,
and made to partake in their choirs.
Being together with others
was excruciating.
I simply wanted to be alone, always.
There were two things I liked as a child.
One was knowledge.
I could satiate the hunger of my heart
by gorging on information on my own terms.
You need not be considerate to others
about knowledge.
I could serve upon myself as much
knowledge as time would allow me.
The other thing I liked was the piano.
A finely tuned wire would respond
accurately to the key that was touched.
There is no deception there.
No betrayals. No disappointments.
My existence
would be seamlessly translated
into a flow of sounds.
I liked this system. I liked being alone.
Neither I nor anyone else
would get hurt that way.
Alone, I could be at ease.
But, after encountering Yui,
I learned that living
could be an enjoyable experience.
Yui alone accepted me for who I was.
After I lost Yui,
I no longer had the confidence
that I could live on
being alone.
This was the first time I tasted
the anguish of loneliness.
I could not bear the burden
of losing Yui.
I just wanted to cry
with my head resting on her bosom.
I just wanted to let myself be different
by being at her side.
I just wanted to make that wish come true.
Am I... Am I forbidden to meet Yui...
because I am weak?
Shinji...
I think you can't see her
because you're not willing
to accept your weaknesses.
You knew all along, didn't you,
Father...
What's that?
Oh, it's Ms. Misato.
Nyahhhh!
["Joy to the World" playing]
I'm not through yet!
Impossible!
All the holy spears have been lost.
There should be no new spears left
that could re-write the world.
[Mari] The Gods bestowed upon us Cassius,
the spear of hope, and Longinus,
the spear of despair.
But even after losing those two spears,
the will to return the world
to how things were
created the spear, Gaius.
Yes, the WILLE spear.
Armed with knowledge and will power,
humanity has been able to make it this far
without the help of the Gods.
Ms. Yui?
We got through it!
Mari, go to Shinji.
[Mari] You got it!
- I'll bring him back!
- Promise?
[Gendoh] It seems a new spear will arrive
before I could be reunited with Yui.
How regrettable.
As your mother, this was
the only thing I could do for you.
I'm sorry, Ryoji.
[Shinji] Thank you, Ms. Misato.
[Gendoh] You've learned to heed
the aspirations of others
and accept their deaths.
You've grown to be an adult, Shinji.
Until the very end, I wasn't sure
if Shinji was needed as a building block
to reconstruct Yui.
Fulfilling a wish entails a sacrifice.
I thought a child was
a punishment upon myself.
Not meeting my child,
not being there for him,
I thought that would be redemption.
I thought that would be best for my son.
[ringing bell]
I'm sorry.
Shinji.
I see.
So that's where you were.
Yui.
[Kaworu] Gendoh Ikari...
He was at the center of the circle,
the realization of human instrumentality.
From here on in, I'll take over.
So, Shinji Ikari.
What do you wish for?
[Shinji] I'm fine. I think I can handle
pain and heartbreak.
I'm more worried
about saving Asuka and others.
Yes, I see.
You've already been able to stand back up
in the real world,
not just in the imaginary one.
Yeah, I've got to settle
the score for what my father did.
Asuka!
[Asuka] I don't know Daddy.
Mommy isn't around.
That's why...
You don't need anyone, Asuka.
I'm gonna make it so I don't need anyone.
Or else, things would be too painful.
Living is painful.
That's why I pilot my Eva.
People might hate me,
they may talk behind my back.
After all, that's all I'm worth.
As long as I can pilot my Eva.
I'll make my body and heart strong
so I don't need anyone.
So, praise me!
Recognize me.
Give me a place...
...where I can be.
I just want...
...someone to pat me on my head.
[child crying sadly]
It's OK, Asuka. You are who you are.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
Am I asleep?
Idiot Shinji?
I'm glad I could see you again.
I wanted to say something to you.
Thanks for saying you liked me.
I liked you too.
Goodbye, Asuka.
Give my regards to Kensuke.
Princess, take care of yourself.
[Kaworu] Guess she's gone.
Shinji, won't you be lonely?
No, I'll be fine.
Now it's your turn,
Kaworu.
[Shinji] I now remember
I've been here before many times
and met you.
[Kaworu] Our names are alongside
each other in the Book of Life.
We'll keep on meeting each other.
I'm you, and I'm just like you.
That's why I was attracted to you.
I wanted to give you happiness.
[Shinji] Yes.
Kaworu, you're just like my father.
That's why you piloted the same Eva.
Shinji, you're different
from how you usually are.
You're not going to cry?
No, crying only provides solace
for yourself.
Me crying won't save anyone.
- That's why I won't cry anymore.
- I see.
You have grown, haven't you, Shinji?
I'll miss how you were before,
but I suppose that's fine.
[Shinji] Kaworu, I think I have to get rid
of your Eva Unit 13 too.
[Kaworu]
Right. You're casting aside the Evas.
I'm sorry.
I misunderstood your happiness.
Exactly, sir.
You misconstrued your own happiness
with his, Commander Nagisa.
You didn't want to bring about
Shinji's happiness.
You wanted his happiness
to make you happy.
[Kaworu] The only thing that can end
my existence is vacuum decay.
That's why I have to
repeatedly play a role
in this predestined circular narrative
for all of eternity.
Let's do this, hoping we can get along.
[sigh]
[Kaworu] You seek a world
with complementaries.
Shinji, you never change.
That's the very reason you chose him.
and listed his name
in the Book of Life.
[Kaworu] Thank you.
You gave me salvation, Ryoji.
I'm honored, Commander Nagisa.
Oh, c'mon Ryoji. You can call me Kaworu.
No, sir, not yet, Commander Nagisa.
Nagisa means shore intermediary,
between the land and the sea.
It's a fitting name for you
as the one that interlinks humanity.
First Angel,
and that which becomes the 13th Angel.
Let's let him take over for now.
Perhaps you can take up working the earth
with me and Katsuragi once you retire?
[Shinji] Huh... yeah.
That sounds nice.
You're the only one left,
Ayanami.
[Rei] I'm fine here.
[Shinji] Another one of you found a place
she could call home.
I'm sure Asuka will be able
to find her own new place as well.
[Rei] A happiness without an Eva,
that's what I wished for you, Shinji.
[Shinji] Yes.
So there's a life away from here for you.
- Really?
- Yes.
I'm going to choose a life
without Evas as well.
I won't rewind time or revert the world.
I'm just going to rewrite the world
into one that doesn't have Evas.
A world where new people can live.
Birth of a new world.
Neon genesis.
Yeah.
And besides, Ms. Mari will come for me.
So please, don't worry.
OK, I won't.
Shinji, thank you.
I'll do it, Ayanami.
Neon genesis.
[song in Japanese]
[gasp]
[song continues]
Who is it?
Ayanami?
No, it isn't.
I see now.
This is the reason why...
You were inside me all this time,
Mother.
I finally understand.
Father wanted to see Mother go.
That's the god-slaying
that he wished for.
[roar]
[song continues]
[Shinji] Goodbye,
all Evangelions!
[song continues]
[song continues]
[song continues]
[Mari] Booyaah! I made it!
Just in the nick of time!
Ms. Mari!
Thank you!
Unit 8, plus 9,
plus 10, plus 11, plus 12.
You did good, Final Evangelion.
Ms. Mari!
Sorry I'm late, Shinji!
[song ends]
[train station musical jingle]
[train station announcement]
The train will arrive shortly.
For your safety,
please stand behind the yellow line.
[Mari] Who is it?
Girl with glasses and big boobs?
And... bingo!
You smell real nice as usual.
The scent of an adult?
Well, you are real cute as usual.
Well now!
You're talkin' like a real grown up.
Ah, c'mon, Shinji!
Let's go!
[song in japanese]
My first time at the Louvre was
no big deal
Because I'd already met
my own Mona Lisa, long ago
The day I first laid eyes on you,
wheels began to turn
An unstoppable premonition of loss
We already have so many
But let's add another one
[Can you give me one last kiss?]
Something we don't want to forget
Oh oh oh oh oh...
Something I don't want to forget
Oh oh oh oh oh...
I love you more than you'll ever know
[song continues]
“I don't like being photographed”
But I don't need such things
Your image is burnt forever
On my heart's projector screen
I was pretending I wasn't lonely
Well, I guess that makes two of us
Yearning for someone
Came hand in hand with heartache
Oh, can you give me one last kiss?
A kiss as hot as fire
So passionately that even if I wanted to
I won't be able to forget it
Oh oh oh oh oh...
I love you more than you'll ever know
Oh oh oh oh oh...
I love you more than you'll ever know
I already know
Whether it's the end of the world
Or I grow to be old
There's someone I won't be able to forget
Oh oh oh oh oh...
Someone I can't forget
Oh oh oh oh oh...
I love you more than you'll ever know
Oh oh oh oh oh...
Someone I can't forget
Can't forget
Can't forget
Can't forget
Someone I can't forget
Chasing after a breeze that blew by
One dazzling afternoon
If I could make just one wish come true
I want to be laid to rest next to you
No matter where that may be
Beautiful world
Beautiful boy
If I could make just one wish come true
I want to be laid to rest next to you
No matter where that may be
Beautiful world
I only have eyes for you, no question
Beautiful boy
Yet unaware of his own beauty
It's only love
Day in, day out
Comic books and daydreams
He doesn't like who he is
Not knowing what he wants
Just wanting
A lukewarm tear runs down the cheek
There isn't anything I want to say
I just want to see you one more time
Maybe I'm a coward
Who can't speak my mind
Oh well, but...
If I can't see you
before my world disappears
Let me lay down to rest next to you
I don't care where that may be
Beautiful world
In the days so fleeting
Beautiful boy
It's only natural to be temperamental
Beautiful world
Beautiful boy
It's only love
If I could make just one wish come true
I want to be laid to rest next to you
It's only love
THE END
