THIS IS THE TRUE FORM
OF EVANGELION: DEATH.

2000 A.D., ANTARCTICA

You're talking about Dr. Katsuragi's
Super Solenoid Theory?

I must say,
that theory is far too radical.

It's still very much a hypothesis.

But the S2 theory is the only explanation
for how that giant is being powered.

There is no need to validate
what is already proven.

It exists right before us.

-We must accept it.
-Once all the data is in.

Scientists put far too much faith
in their beliefs.

You think they are dogmatic?

Their assumptions
are too deeply ingrained.

These are people who are unable
to accurately perceive reality.

And yet such people
seek the truth. How ironic.

There is nothing noble about what they do.

The act of discovery brings them joy,
and understanding leads to dominance.

What they seek is self-gratification,
nothing more.

Stop the surface luminescence!
It's exceeding threshold values!

The DNA that was inserted into Adam
has undergone physical fusion!

All the AT Fields are giving way!

-The spear! Pull up the spear!
-No-go! Magnetic field unstable!

It's sinking in!

Limit the damage any way you can!
Every bit counts!

Break up its component atoms
on the quark level! Hurry!

Initiate cooling cycle when
the Gates of Guf open!

Make it give off energy
that will interfere with

its own Anti-A.T. Field,
even for 0.1 seconds!

-Countdown in progress.
-It's spreading its wings!

It's reached the surface!

Father...

FIFTEEN YEARS LATER,
SHE WAS IN BED WITH A MAN

I bet Ritsuko is looking down
her nose at me

right about now, thinking I'm indecent.

You're truer to the human condition
when you indulge your desires.

The deception should hold for a while.

Against who, NERV Intelligence?
Or Commander Ikari or Ritsuko?

Or do you mean me?

No, yourself.

"Others," don't you mean?

You're not all that interested in others,
but you always feel lonely.

You really are like my father.

NINE MONTHS AGO,
HE WAS GAZING AT THE STARS

Aw, we'll be in Japan tomorrow.

Misato said she'd be there
by noon to pick me up.

Darn, we'll be going
our separate ways for a while.

This sucks.

When we get there, I'm sure that lots
of new boyfriends will be waiting for you.

And from what I hear,
the Third Children is a boy.

I'm not interested in some dumb kid!

The only person I like is you, Mr. Kaji.

SEVEN YEARS AGO,
SHE BURST THROUGH THE DOOR

Mommy! Mommy! I've been chosen!

I'm gonna be an elite pilot
that protects humanity!

I'm the world's greatest!

It's supposed to be secret!
But I'll share it just with you, Mommy!

Lots of people are gonna be nice to me!
So I won't be lonely!

So I'll be fine even without Daddy!
I won't be lonely at all!

So look! Look at me!

Did you hear me, Mommy?

Asuka, can you hear me?
Your synch rate is down by eight.

Keep all extraneous thoughts
from your mind.

I'm trying to!

Asuka's synch rate has been
dropping steadily lately.

This is the last thing we need
on top of everything else.

Let's prioritize repairing Rei's Unit 00.

Director.

Good morning.
You have your son with you today?

Oh, I thought you had a boy.

This isn't Shinji.
I'm looking after a friend's daughter.

Her name is Rei Ayanami.

Hi there, Rei.

FIVE YEARS LATER,
SHE MET HIM AGAIN

I can't reach her? I shouldn't have come.

That's that, then.
Might as well head to a shelter.

Don't run away...

A FEW MONTHS LATER,
HE WAS FACED WITH A DECISION

Thank you, Shinji.

Kaworu, why are you--

It's my fate. It dictates that I live on.
Even if mankind perishes as a result.

But I can die here if I want.
Life and death hold equal value to me.

Choosing to die is the one
absolute freedom.

What's that mean? Kaworu, I don't
understand what you're saying!

They're my last words.

Now, go ahead and destroy me.

If you don't,
you and your kind will disappear.

Only one lifeform can avoid extinction
and be granted a future.

-That's the Evas'...

I think your boxes of stuff
are already here.

Actually, I only moved here
recently, myself.

Come on in!

Uh, thanks for having me...

Shinji, this is your home.

I-- I'm home.

Welcome back.

Who is she?

The sole survivor
of the original expedition.

She hasn't spoken a single word
in nearly two years.

That poor girl.

Whatever she saw,
it was bad enough to do that.

Mental trauma can take longer to heal
than simple physical injuries.

-Her name is...
-Ms. Katsuragi?

Yep! Misato Katsuragi!
Pleased to meet'cha!

Mother, I met a girl named
Katsuragi the other day.

I learned that she was the sole survivor
of that doomed expedition.

She says she suffered from aphasia,
unable to speak for a while,

but the way she goes on and on now,
it's like she's making up for lost time.

Do I want to be a good girl?
I need to be a good girl.

Because Daddy is always gone.

I need to be a good girl and help Mommy.

But I don't want to end up like Mommy.

Because Mommy is always crying
when Daddy is away.

I shouldn't cry. I shouldn't act spoiled.

That's why I need to be a good girl.

But I hate my father.
That's why I hate being a good girl.

I hate it... I'm tired.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, Misato is the person NERV sent
to Germany before you, Mr. Kaji.

I don't like her that much.
She's always putting up a front.

Ms. Misato Katsuragi...

-She's not a bad person.
-Good morning, Shinji...

I've been through so much
since I got here.

Before this, I was staying with a teacher.

Days there were quiet and uneventful.

All I did was take up space.

But that was fine with me.
There was nothing that I wanted to do.

I had nothing that I wanted to live for.

You hate being around other people?

Not exactly.
I don't think I cared either way.

But I did hate my father.

I'm amazed that Shinji was willing
to go through with this.

He does whatever he's told.
That's how he makes his life easier.

Center the target, pull the trigger.

Center the target, pull the trigger.

Center the target, pull the trigger.

Don't run away. Don't run away.

Don't run away. Don't run away.

Today, the Fourth Angel attacked
from out of the clear blue sky.

Unit 01 intercepted the Angel
and narrowly managed to defeat it.

Shinji, get up.

How long are you gonna
stay home from school?

Unit 01 is as good as new.

Its pilot shouldn't be
sitting around like this.

Shinji?

TO MS. MISATO KATSURAGI

TOKYO-3 LOOP LINE NO.7

It has been raining incessantly
for four days.

Poor weather is hindering
the dismantling of the Angel sample.

Nothing else of note to record today.

The sun finally came out today,

resulting in a day that was sunny,
but with intermittent clouds.

Nothing else of note
to record today, either.

I like it at night.

Those cicadas aren't buzzing away.

It was nice and quiet when I was a kid,
but there's more every year.

Ms. Misato said something about
the ecosystem rebuilding itself.

"Ms. Misato," huh?

I'm so jealous! You live with a total babe
and you get to pilot that Evangelion.

Your Eva is ready and waiting.
Will you pilot it?

Or not?

You're not going to scold me
for running away?

I guess you wouldn't. You're not family.

What would happen with Unit 01
if I didn't pilot it?

I suppose Rei would pilot it.

You're not going to?

How could I do something like that?
I couldn't force it all on her.

Don't worry. I'll do it.

But you don't want to?

Of course not.
I'm not cut out for this stuff.

But you and Ayanami and Ms. Ritsuko--

Knock it off!

What others think doesn't matter!

If you don't like it, then leave!

Forget about the Evas and everything else!
Go back to your old life!

If you keep acting like this,
you're more trouble than you're worth!

If you don't stick around, we'll all
probably have to leave town eventually.

But we can't force you to stay.

We saw what it's like for you in that Eva.

I dare anybody to bad-mouth you!
I'll beat the crap out of the guy!

I'm the one who should be clobbered!

I'm dishonest! And a coward!

I'm a sneak! And a weakling...

Don't run away, Shinji.

Not from your father,
and especially not from yourself.

Are you sure, Shinji?

It's fine, I prefer being alone.

It's all the same to me.

Wow! Buildings are sprouting
from the ground!

If you don't stick around, we'll all
probably have to leave town eventually.

But we can't force you to stay.

We saw what it's like for you in that Eva.

And... it's the city that you protected.

I forgot to tell you something:

People will thank you
for what you did today.

You should be proud.

Good night, Shinji.

Keep it up.

The Third Children had been suffering
from a temporary slump.

Most likely cause, burnout.

Was given four days R&R
to ensure proper recuperation.

Subject now healthy and back on duty.

I... I'm back.

Welcome home.

-Good morning, Ikari.
-Hey, good morning.

SECOND VIOLIN,
THE SECOND PLAYER

TUNING

Mommy...

Mommy...

You're just as much a kid as I am.

Hello, Misato.

How have you been?

Not bad. Hey, have you grown in height?

Yep. And I'm filling out
in all the right places, too.

Allow me to introduce the Second Children,
Evangelion Unit 02's designated pilot.

Asuka Langley Soryu.

-Overbearing!
-Stuck up!

-Cocky!
-Weirdo!

-Self-centered!
-A showoff!

-A cold fish!
-Two-faced!

-Baumkuchen!
-Heartless!

-Thin-skinned!
-A real piece of work!

Rubs me the wrong way!

Are you afraid of intimacy with others?

If you avoid other people,
you'll never be betrayed.

You won't hurt each other, either.

But you'll also never stop feeling lonely.

Humans can't permanently
be free of loneliness.

Because man is ultimately alone.

But people can go on living
because they're able to forget.

The human heart is in constant pain.

The heart is sensitive to pain,
so that makes living feel painful.

-So, what do you think of Shinji Ikari?
-He's a letdown.

A guy like him, picked to be
the Third Children? I'm disillusioned.

He got tossed unprepared into a fight,
but his synch rate easily topped 40.

Synchronization rate, zero.

Third Children!

No longer qualified as Second Children.

Come with me for a minute.

Wow, Unit 02 is red. I had no idea.

Unit 00 and 01 are really just

a developmental-use prototype
and test type.

The fact that you could synch with yours
without any training proves it.

But Unit 02 here is different!

Mine was built for combat operations,
the world's first real Evangelion!

It's the official type!

-What was that?
-An underwater shock wave!

That blast was nearby.

Shinji!

Guten Morgen!

Gooten morgun...

Geez, you look all mopey,
and it's first thing in the morning.

I did you the favor of talking to you.

So maybe you could try to look happy, huh?

-She's here, right? The other one.
-Other what?

What kind of idiot are you?
I mean the First Children! Who else?

Oh, you mean Ayanami. She's...

Hello!

So you're Rei Ayanami,
the prototype's pilot.

I'm Asuka. Asuka Langley Soryu.

I'm Eva-02's pilot. Let's be friends.

What for?

Because it's best for everyone that way.
For various reasons.

I'll be your friend if I'm ordered to.

She's a strange one...

So, is the unison training going well?

See for yourself.

What do you expect?!

It's never going to work if I have to
force myself down to Shinji's level!

This whole thing is flat-out impossible!

-Rei?
-Yes, ma'am?

Give it a try.

There's no reason for me
to be here anymore.

Nobody will look at me.

I'm not a doll.

Synch graph indicates a drop of 12.8.

It's barely enough for activation.

These numbers are terrible.
They're even worse than yesterday's.

Asuka isn't feeling too hot today.
She's on her period.

Synch rates aren't affected by
superficial physiological states.

The problem is deeper down.
In her subconscious.

Asuka's pride is in shambles.

It's hardly a surprise,
not after a defeat like that.

Actually, the fact that she feels like
she lost to Shinji is even worse.

If you don't open your heart to it,
your Eva won't work.

You're saying I'm closing myself off?!
I have mental walls?

Yes. The Evas have a heart.

-Those dolls have a heart?!
-Deep down, you know that.

Ha! If you started a conversation
with me, Hell must have frozen over!

What, does me not being able to pilot
my Eva make you that happy?

Don't worry! If an Angel comes,
Shinji the Mighty will defeat it!

We don't need to lift a finger!

First it was Shinji, and now even
a clockwork doll like you is pitying me!

I really must have lost my edge!

I'm not a doll.

Like hell you're not!
All you do is follow orders!

If Commander Ikari told you to die,
you'd do it, wouldn't you?!

I would.

Good morning.

FIVE MINUTES, 43 SECONDS BEFORE
STRING QUARTET RECITAL PRACTICE

TUNING

Yo, big guy! Who are you staring at?

-Uh, nobody.
-Could it be...

-...Ayanami, maybe?!
-No!

Hah, as if!
Talk about suspicious behavior! Right?

Ayanami's breasts... Ayanami's thighs...

-Ayanami's calves!
-...calves!

I wasn't, okay?

What were you looking at, then?

You can't pull the wool over my eyes!

I was just wondering
why she's always alone.

Oh. Now that you mention it,

I don't think she's made any friends
since she transferred here last year.

You're both Eva pilots.
Shouldn't you know her better than us?

He's right.

I guess we don't talk all that much.

She's a really sweet girl,
but just like your father,

she's all thumbs.

All thumbs? At what?

At living.

AYANAMI

Hello?

Is anyone home? It's Ikari.

Ayanami? I'm coming in.

Are these hers?

I...

I didn't mean to--

Could you move?

I...

What?

Er, I... That is...

They asked me to...

To do what? Your card!

Your card's been renewed,

so I was supposed to drop it off.

That's... That's why I...

I wasn't trying to...

Say...

Aren't you scared of getting
into your Unit 00 again?

Why would I be?

I heard you were hurt really badly
during that test earlier,

so I was curious if you were worried.

You're Commander Ikari's son, right?

You don't have faith
in your father's work?

Of course not!
Have faith in a father like him?!

Ayanami...

The following is the schedule
for Operation Yashima,

which will begin at 0000 hours tonight:

"Pilots Ikari and Ayanami will report
to the Cage at 1730 hours today.

1800 hours.
Units 00 and 01 will be activated.

1805 hours. Depart HQ.

1830 hours.
Arrive at temporary base at Mt. Futago.

Once there, await further instructions.

When the clock strikes midnight,
operation will commence."

Dinner.

I'm not hungry.

We leave in 60 minutes.

Do I have to pilot that thing again?

Yes, that's right.

I'm done. I don't want
to go through that ever again.

Then stay in bed.

What do you mean?

I'll pilot Unit 01.

Dr. Akagi has made preparations
to rewrite Unit 01's personal data.

Ms. Ritsuko did that?

You're not safe! Stand back!

-To everyone.

You sure are tough, Ayanami.

I don't have anything else.

Farewell.

Ayanami! Are you okay?!

Ayanami!

Don't... Don't say that you
don't have anything else, okay?

Don't say sad stuff like "farewell"
whenever you walk off, okay?

Why are you crying?

I'm sorry.

I don't know how I should act
at times like this.

Smiling would be a good start.

Ayanami?

It's fine. I'll go.

Even if I die, there are replacements.

-She's going to blow herself up?!
-Rei!

A.T. Field to maximum.

-Dreaming?
-Yeah. You've never dreamed before?

We have to complete everything
before Seele can act.

It would be unwise
to lose Unit 02. Not yet.

Using the Spear of Longinus
without Seele's permission'll be trouble.

You can stay in bed today.
We’ll take care of the rest.

Thanks, but I'm okay now.

Oh, I'm glad to hear it.

Rei! Return fire!

Rei Ayanami, 14.

The first qualified subject approved by
Marduk Institute research reports.

The First Children.

Designated pilot of Evangelion
prototype Unit 00.

Her past is a blank slate.
All records erased.

Corruption by target is progressing!

Launch! Got that?

Eva-02, lift off!

Get out there! What's wrong, Asuka?

-Unit 02's status?
-No-go!

-Her synch rate is in the single digits!
-Asuka!

-It won't move... It won't move!
-I'll go in Unit 02.

Aching? No, that's not it. It's lonely.

Yes, that's it. It's lonely.

The one that's crying... is me?

-Rei!
-The lockdown on Unit 01 is hereby lifted.

-Launch it immediately.
-Sir?

-Launch it.
-Yes, sir!

What the hell? They didn't send him out
when I was the one who needed help!

-Deploy A.T. Field! Rescue Rei! Hurry!
-Yes, ma'am!

-It smells like Shinji.
-Shinji!

This is what my heart wants?
I want to be one with Shinji?

No!

Her A.T. Field is inverting!

I can't. Without me,
the A.T. Field will vanish.

So I can't go.

Rei, are you going to...

TWELVE YEARS EARLIER

Another day that's the same as the last.

I can't tell you how much
I miss autumn in this country.

According to the scenario set out
in Seele's Hidden Dead Sea Scrolls,

the Third Impact will occur
some ten years from now.

Two groups exist for the sole purpose
of preventing that final tragedy:

Seele and Gehirn.

It's your views that I'm
in agreement with, not Seele's.

Professor Fuyutsuki, breaking that seal
to the world is extremely dangerous.

I've given all of my research to Ikari.

This is beyond
what one single person can do.

I have no intention of repeating
my previous behavior.

I've also received subtle warnings.

It looks like they could eliminate me
with no trouble at all.

The rest of us survivors, as well.

It's a simple thing to destroy people.

Even so, there's no reason for you
to be the test subject.

I will ride along the currents.

That's why I'm with Seele.

This is also for Shinji.

It's been three years since
we last came here together.

I ran away from home after that.
I haven't been back since.

It hardly seems like
Mother is resting here.

I can't even remember her face.

Forgetting is what
lets people go on living.

But there are some things
that we must never forget.

That's an important lesson
that Yui taught me.

I come here to remind myself
of that lesson.

Don't you have any pictures?

None. This grave itself is a facade.
There's no body.

They said you threw everything away.
You really did.

You keep what's important inside you.
That's enough for now.

FIVE YEARS AGO

The night before she died,
Mother said something to me.

That the Magi were
three facets of herself.

The scientist in her. The mother in her.

The woman in her.

The Magi are those three sides of her,
constantly vying for control.

She deliberately incorporated
the inner conflict we all have.

Ever the aloof ice queen, I see.

Careful, happiness is going
to pass you by.

I have even more trouble
with how to define happiness.

I should go. It's been forever
since I went out for a drink.

-Good work today.
-You, too.

Can I help you, Rei?

I got lost.

Oh, really? Well, do you want me
to show you the way out?

No.

But you can't find your way out
by yourself, right?

I don't need your help, you hag.

What?

I can find my own way out,
so leave me alone, you hag.

Calling someone a hag is very rude.

But you are one, aren't you?

You're making me angry.
You need a scolding from Director Ikari.

-He's the one who says that about you.
-What?

Things like, "That old hag is such a nag."
Or, "I don't need that hag anymore."

"That old hag is such a nag."
Or, "I don't need that hag anymore."

"I don't need that hag anymore."

"I don't need that hag anymore."
He's the one who says that.

Even if you die...

The Eva has reactivated.

Incredible...

Impossible! I don't believe it!

Unit 01's synch rate is over 400%!

Does this mean... she's awake?

It's eating the Angel...

Is it trying to incorporate
its S2 Drive into itself?

The restraints!

Restraints?

Yes. Those aren't armor plating.

They're restraints we put on the Evas
to contain their intrinsic power.

It's using brute force
to break free of our control.

We humans can no longer keep
that Eva under our control.

The awakening and liberation of Unit 01...

Seele won't take this lying down.

Is this also part of your scenario,
Commander Ikari?

-It's begun, hasn't it?
-Yes.

It all starts now.

I'm still alive.

Paging Dr. Ugai.
Dr. Ugai of Internal Medicine Dept. 1...

Ayanami!

Thank goodness you're alive, Ayanami.

Father isn't here, huh?

Thanks for saving me.

From what?

What do you mean?
You sacrificed Unit 00 to save me.

Oh. I saved you.

Yeah. Don't you remember?

No. I don't know about it.

Because I think I'm probably
the third one.

Rei... Ayanami!

Hang on, the Evas' Dummy Plugs are--

Yes. These form the core
of the Dummy System.

-This is their production plant.
-They're...

These are just empty dummies.
And simple spare parts for Rei.

Mankind stumbled across God.
Overjoyed, we tried to possess it.

And so, we were punished.
That happened 15 years ago.

The God we were so excited about vanished.

Undeterred, we then tried
to resurrect God.

That was Adam.

We made humans from Adam in God's image.

Those are the Evas.

They're people? They're human beings?

Yes. They're human.

The Evas are intrinsically soulless,
so we imbue them with one.

They're cobbled together
with salvaged material.

The only vessel that contained
a soul was Rei. Only her.

Only she was born with a soul.

The Chamber of Guf was completely empty.

None of these Rei-shaped things
has a soul.

They're just empty shells.

So I'm going to smash them.
Because I hate them.

Do you have any idea what you've done?!

Yes, I know. I've destroyed property.

These things aren't human.

They're human-shaped objects.

-Where have you been?!
-Sorry about that.

ARTIFICIAL HUMAN EVANGELION

Evangelion Unit 03 is hereby
declared a total loss.

Target is now designated
as the 13th Angel.

He's inside there...

That's an Angel?

Is it really an Angel?!

That's right. It's your target.

Shinji, why aren't you fighting back?

There's... There's somebody
in there, Father!

Irrelevant!
That thing is an Angel! Our enemy!

But I... I can't!

We have to save him!
I can't murder somebody!

You'll die if you don't.

That's fine! I'd rather die
than kill someone!

So be it.

Sever the synchronization
between the pilot and Unit 01.

Sever it, sir?

Yes. Switch control over
to the Dummy Plug.

But, sir, the Dummy System
is still plagued with issues,

and without Dr. Akagi's supervision, it--

It will still be more useful
than this pilot. Do it!

What did you do, Father?!

-All systems nominal.
-Gain continuing to climb!

Tohji was sorry he hit you.
I hear his little sister chewed him out.

She said it was your robot
that saved us all.

Stop it!

Father, stop! You've got to stop this!

Damn it, stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Don't do it!

I think I'll make this one.

I sure hope he'll eat it tomorrow!

Shinji, I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

The pilot of Unit 03...
The Fourth Children, it's...

Tohji?

Shinji?

Shinji?

What kind of man is my father?

That sure wasn't what I was expecting.

I thought you were going to ask
about Katsuragi.

It just seems like you're always with him.

It's the Deputy Commander
who's always with him.

Is this your thing,
asking everyone about your father?

I wasn't with him for a long time.

Oh, you really don't know him.

But I've learned a fair amount lately.
About my father.

About his job. About my mother.

So I--

No, that's where you're wrong.
You only think you learned something.

Nobody can ever completely
understand another person.

Good luck even understanding yourself.

Complete understanding
between two people is impossible.

That's why people try so hard
to understand themselves and others.

It's one of the things
that makes life interesting.

Does that go for you and Misato, too?

The characters for the word "girlfriend"
literally mean "distant woman."

Women are creatures on an alien shore.
As far as we men are concerned.

So, what were you doing in Kyoto?

Huh? I picked that up in Matsushiro!

Don't play dumb.
If you dig too deep, you'll get burned.

Advice from a concerned friend.

I'll take it to heart.

If I'll get burned anyway,
I want it be from us--

-Can I buy some matches for you?
-Hey, you're back.

You'll never change.

Kaji? Do you think I've changed?

-You're more beautiful.
-I'm so tired.

Tired of keeping myself
clean and pretty.

Tired of the me that keeps up the charade
of being clean and pretty. I'm exhausted.

I wanted to see myself absolutely filthy.

Sounds like men and women.

Hi, Katsuragi.

It's me.

By the time you get this message,
I've probably made life difficult for you.

Sorry about that.
And apologize to Ritchan for me, okay?

I shouldn't be asking favors,
but I've been growing some flowers.

If you could water them for me,
I'd appreciate it.

Shinji knows where they are.

Katsuragi... The truth is with you.

Keep going and don't look back.

If I see you again...

I'll say the words that I couldn't
say to you eight years ago.

Bye.

You idiot...

You're such an idiot...

Hi. What took you so long?

Stop making up crap like that!
Like you'd know, Idiot Shinji!

How many times do I have to tell you?!
Mr. Kaji is gone, damn it!

You're lying...

Aren't songs great?

Songs enrich the heart.

They're the crowning achievement
of Lilin culture.

Don't you think so...

Shinji Ikari?

-You know my name?
-Everybody knows you.

No offense, but I think you should
be more aware of your importance.

I should?

Um, who are you?

I'm Kaworu. Kaworu Nagisa.

Like you, I'm a child whose path has
been set out. I'm the Fifth Children.

You're the Fifth Children, uh... Nagisa?

Call me Kaworu, Ikari.

Um, call me Shinji, then.

Let's go. Come along, alter ego of Adam

and servant of the Lilin.

Eva Unit 02 has activated!

That's impossible! Where's Asuka?

In hospital room 303! I have confirmation!

Then who--

It's unmanned! Unit 02 doesn't have
an entry plug inserted!

It's unmanned?
Then the Fifth isn't doing this?

A.T. Field generation detected
in the Central Dogma!

-Is it Unit 02?
-Negative! Pattern Blue!

-No doubt about it, it's an Angel!
-It's what?

That boy... He's an Angel?

Target passing Level 4! Still descending!

It's no use!
Unable to cut power to the Maglev!

Target passing Level 5!

All Central Dogma blast doors,
emergency lockdown!

Buy us some time. I don't care how much.

Emergency lockdown of all
Malebolge levels! All personnel, evacuate!

All personnel, evacuate!

I can't believe Seele
would send one directly at us...

The old men are trying to skip a step.
Using us to do it.

Man has forgotten his foolishness
and now repeats the mistakes of the past.

Man will never change
without first making atonement.

We will not use Adam or the Angels.

We must bring forth the future
by our own hands.

Let us hope Unit 01
will carry out the task.

Eva-02 is breaching the armored bulkheads!

Target has passed Cocytus No.2!

-Have Eva-01 pursue.
-Yes, sir!

Use any means necessary
to prevent the target

from entering the Terminal Dogma.

But why did the Angel take Unit 02?

Does it intend to merge
with Unit 02, perhaps?

Or to bring about our destruction.

It's a lie! A lie! A lie!

Kaworu's a... He's an Angel?!

That's not true!

Facts are facts. Just accept it.

You need to launch. Ready?

What's keeping you, Shinji?

Eva-01 descending Route 2!

In pursuit of target!

You betrayed me! You betrayed my feelings!

You betrayed me, just like Father!

Unit 01 has arrived at Level 4.
About to make contact with target.

There he is!

I've been waiting for you, Shinji.

Kaworu!

Asuka, I'm sorry!

The Eva Series...

Creatures born of Adam which are
abominations in the eyes of humanity.

The Lilin resort to using
even such things in order to survive.

This is most perplexing.

Kaworu! Stop it! Why are you doing this?!

The Evas and I are made of the same flesh.

We are both born of Adam, you see.

If it weren't for its soul,
I could merge with it.

Especially since Unit 02 here
is closing off its own soul right now.

An A.T. Field!

Oh, right. That's what you Lilin call it.

That sacred region which none may violate.

The light of the heart.
Deep down, you Lilin must know.

The A.T. Field is the inner wall
that we all possess.

How would I know anything
about that, Kaworu?!

-Both Evas have reached lowest level.
-Target will reach Terminal Dogma in 20.

If we lose Unit 01's signal
and detect another change...

I know, ma'am.
I'll trigger the self-destruct.

It's better than letting
the Third Impact happen.

I'm sorry.

I don't mind dying. Not if it's with you.

Thank you.

Humanity's fate...

Man's hope is lined with sorrow.

What was that?!

The most powerful A.T. Field
we've ever recorded!

Light, EM waves, and subatomic particles
are all being blocked!

Unable to monitor!

It's a damn containment field.

The target and Eva-01
and Eva-02 are off our scopes!

Unable to contact pilot!

Kaworu!

Come back!

Final safety device disengaged!

Heaven's Door is opening!

So an Angel finally made it.

Hyuga.

-What's that?!
-Status?

It's an A.T. Field!

A field of equal power is being generated
near the earlier Terminal Dogma field!

It's breaking through
the containment field!

What? A new Angel?

Unknown! Unable to verify!

Wait, it's gone!

It's gone? The Angel vanished?!

Adam, mother figure to my kind.

Must those born of Adam return to him?

Even if that means dooming humanity?

Wait, this isn't...

It's Lilith!

I see... So that's your plan, Lilin!

Thank you, Shinji.

I had hoped that you would stop
Unit 02 for me.

Otherwise, I may have been able
to live on alongside her.

Kaworu, why are you--

It's my fate. It dictates that I live on.

Even if mankind perishes as a result.

But I can die here if I want.
Life and death hold equal value to me.

Choosing to die
is the one absolute freedom.

What's that mean? Kaworu,
I don't understand what you're saying!

They're my last words.

Now, go ahead and destroy me.

If you don't,
you and your kind will disappear.

Only one lifeform can avoid extinction
and be granted a future.

And you aren't someone who ought to die.

Your kind needs a future.

Thank you.

I'm happy that I met you.
