1. Like a cruel angel
Copy !req
2. Become a legend, young boy
Copy !req
3. When a blue wind
Knocks on the door to your heart
Copy !req
4. You just gaze back at me
And smile oh so gently
Copy !req
5. So eager for something
You touch so softly
Copy !req
6. Those innocent eyes
Know nothing of the fate that awaits
Copy !req
7. But one day, you will realize
That upon your back
Copy !req
8. You have wings
You can fly to the faraway future
Copy !req
9. The cruel angel's thesis
Copy !req
10. One day, you'll take off through a window
Copy !req
11. If your overflowing pathos
Copy !req
12. Leads you to betray your memories
Copy !req
13. Then embrace the heavens and shine bright
Copy !req
14. Become legend, young boy
Copy !req
15. 2015 A.D.
Copy !req
16. At 12:30 p.m. today, a special state
of emergency has been declared
Copy !req
17. for the Toukai region
and the surrounding mid-Kanto area.
Copy !req
18. All residents, proceed to your designated
evacuation shelter immediately.
Copy !req
19. I repeat, at 12:30 p.m. today,
Copy !req
20. a special state of emergency
has been declared
Copy !req
21. for the Toukai region
and the surrounding mid-Kanto area.
Copy !req
22. Proceed to your designated...
Copy !req
23. How could I lose track of him
at a time like this?
Copy !req
24. I don't believe this...
Copy !req
25. All phone lines
Copy !req
26. are currently disabled due to
the special state of emergency.
Copy !req
27. I can't reach her?
Copy !req
28. I shouldn't have come.
Copy !req
29. I'll never make it.
Copy !req
30. That's that, then.
Might as well head to a shelter.
Copy !req
31. Unidentified object is continuing
its approach to this facility.
Copy !req
32. We have visual on target.
Sending to main screen.
Copy !req
33. It's been 15 years.
Copy !req
34. Yes, there's no doubt about it.
Copy !req
35. It's an Angel.
Copy !req
36. All missiles, direct hit!
Copy !req
37. Sorry! Been waiting long?
Copy !req
38. Target unfazed. It is continuing
to advance towards Tokyo-3.
Copy !req
39. Local air units are unable
to slow its advance!
Copy !req
40. This is total war. Launch all units
from Atsugi and Iruma as well.
Copy !req
41. Commit everything we have!
Crush the target at all costs!
Copy !req
42. This makes no sense!
Those were direct hits!
Copy !req
43. Our armored battalion has been wiped out.
Copy !req
44. Guided munitions, bombs,
and artillery are having no effect.
Copy !req
45. Damn it! This kind of firepower
isn't getting us anywhere!
Copy !req
46. An A.T. Field?
Copy !req
47. Yes. Standard weapons
will be useless against the Angels.
Copy !req
48. Yes, sir. We'll deploy it
according to plan.
Copy !req
49. They wouldn't...
They're gonna use an N2 land mine?
Copy !req
50. Get down!
Copy !req
51. We did it!
Copy !req
52. Sorry, but your services
weren't required this time.
Copy !req
53. Shock wave incoming.
Copy !req
54. Are you okay?
Copy !req
55. Yes, but I got some sand in my mouth.
Copy !req
56. Glad to hear it. Okay...
Copy !req
57. Here we go!
Copy !req
58. One, two!
Copy !req
59. Thank you.
I couldn't have done it without you.
Copy !req
60. No, I should be thanking you,
Ms. Katsuragi.
Copy !req
61. Call me Misato, okay?
Copy !req
62. It's nice to meet you, Shinji Ikari.
Copy !req
63. Thank you.
Copy !req
64. Target's current status?
Copy !req
65. Target status unknown, EMI too strong.
Copy !req
66. You saw that explosion!
It must have been obliterated!
Copy !req
67. Sensors coming back online.
Copy !req
68. Energy readings at ground zero!
Copy !req
69. What?
Copy !req
70. Visual feed back online.
Copy !req
71. That was our ace in the hole...
Copy !req
72. This can't be happening.
Copy !req
73. God-damned monster!
Copy !req
74. Yes, not to worry.
His protection has top priority.
Copy !req
75. So have the car shuttle train standing by.
The direct service line.
Copy !req
76. Right. Well, I am the one
who said I would go meet him.
Copy !req
77. So I'm keeping my word. Bye.
Copy !req
78. Man, what a day!
Copy !req
79. I just had this car restored,
and it's trashed already!
Copy !req
80. Repair fees, on top of another
33 months of car payments...
Copy !req
81. Plus, my best outfit is ruined!
Copy !req
82. - Um, Ms. Misato?
- I got all decked out for today...
Copy !req
83. - Excuse me, Ms. Misato?
- Yes, what?
Copy !req
84. Was it okay for you to do that?
Copy !req
85. Oh, don't worry about it!
Copy !req
86. This is an emergency!
I had to get the car moving, right?
Copy !req
87. And I might not look it,
but I'm an international civil servant.
Copy !req
88. So it's perfectly legit!
Copy !req
89. That's not very convincing.
Copy !req
90. Oh, lighten up.
Copy !req
91. For a kid with such a cute face,
you sure are uptight.
Copy !req
92. Am I?
Copy !req
93. Oops! Are you mad?
Copy !req
94. I'm so sorry! You're a boy, after all.
Copy !req
95. Actually, you seem a bit childish
for someone your age, Ms. Misato.
Copy !req
96. As we predicted, it's regenerating?
Copy !req
97. If it couldn't, it would be worthless
as a standalone weapon.
Copy !req
98. Very impressive. It's even capable
of enhancing its abilities?
Copy !req
99. And it's getting smarter.
Copy !req
100. It's only a matter of time
before it resumes its advance.
Copy !req
101. Gates closing. Please stay clear.
Copy !req
102. Special Agency Nerv?
Copy !req
103. Right. It's a secret organization
directly attached to the UN.
Copy !req
104. My father works here, doesn't he?
Copy !req
105. Yup. Do you know
what your father does here?
Copy !req
106. A teacher told me that he has
the important job of protecting humanity.
Copy !req
107. As of this moment, you have been
given command over this operation.
Copy !req
108. - Let's see what you can do.
- Understood, sir.
Copy !req
109. Ikari, I'll admit that our ordnance
is ineffective against the target.
Copy !req
110. Can you defeat it, though?
Copy !req
111. This is what Nerv is for.
Copy !req
112. Don't let us down.
Copy !req
113. Target status has not changed.
Copy !req
114. Current intercept capacity is at 7.5%.
Copy !req
115. The UN Forces have given up, then?
What do you intend to do?
Copy !req
116. We'll activate Unit 01.
Copy !req
117. Unit 01? But there's no pilot.
Copy !req
118. Not a problem.
The spare pilot will arrive shortly.
Copy !req
119. Will we be going to see my father?
Copy !req
120. Yes, I think so.
Copy !req
121. Father...
Copy !req
122. Oh, right! Did your father
send you any ID forms?
Copy !req
123. Yes.
Copy !req
124. Here.
Copy !req
125. Thanks.
Copy !req
126. COME HERE!
- GENDOH IKARI
Copy !req
127. Read through this, okay?
Copy !req
128. "Welcome to Nerv"?
Copy !req
129. My father's work...
Copy !req
130. Am I supposed to do something at Nerv?
Copy !req
131. There has to be. Otherwise,
Father wouldn't have written to me.
Copy !req
132. Oh, I see. Dealing with your father
isn't your strong suit, huh?
Copy !req
133. Just like me, huh?
Copy !req
134. Wow!
Copy !req
135. - A bona fide Geo-front!
- That's right.
Copy !req
136. Over there is our secret base,
Nerv headquarters.
Copy !req
137. The key to rebuilding the world,
and the last bastion of humanity.
Copy !req
138. This is so strange...
Copy !req
139. I could swear it was this way.
Copy !req
140. Closed Central Dogma passages
will remain...
Copy !req
141. Wearing skirts in this place
is a bad idea.
Copy !req
142. I wonder where Ritsuko went?
Copy !req
143. I'm sorry, I don't have my bearings yet.
Copy !req
144. We passed through here already.
Copy !req
145. Well, not to worry!
Nerv has systems for this very situation.
Copy !req
146. Paging Project E. Dir., Dr. Ritsuko Akagi
of Technology Division Section 1.
Copy !req
147. Dr. Ritsuko Akagi.
Copy !req
148. Please contact Capt. Misato Katsuragi
of Operations Division Section 1.
Copy !req
149. I don't believe it.
She's lost again, isn't she?
Copy !req
150. Oops! Hi, Ritsuko!
Copy !req
151. Where have you been, Capt. Katsuragi?
We're short on both manpower and time.
Copy !req
152. Sorry!
Copy !req
153. This is the boy?
Copy !req
154. Yep. He's the Third Children
reported by the Marduk Institute.
Copy !req
155. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
156. Uh, yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
157. That's another way
that he takes after his father.
Copy !req
158. A total lack of charm.
Copy !req
159. Take care of things here.
Copy !req
160. They haven't seen each other
in three years.
Copy !req
161. Deputy Commander,
the target has begun moving again.
Copy !req
162. Very well. All personnel
to condition one battle stations.
Copy !req
163. I repeat, condition one battle stations!
Prepare for ground intercept.
Copy !req
164. - Hear that?
- This sounds bad.
Copy !req
165. So, how is Unit 01?
Copy !req
166. It's being cooled down
in its Type B Configuration.
Copy !req
167. It that thing really going to work?
It's hasn't worked once, right?
Copy !req
168. The odds of a successful activation
are 0.000000001%.
Copy !req
169. Calling it the 0-9 System
was certainly appropriate.
Copy !req
170. Doesn't that mean it won't work?
Copy !req
171. Don't be rude. It's not 0%.
Copy !req
172. Sure, numerically.
Copy !req
173. Ah, well. We don't exactly have
the luxury of accepting failure.
Copy !req
174. Um, I can't see a thing!
Copy !req
175. A face? A giant robot!
Copy !req
176. You won't find this
in the orientation book.
Copy !req
177. This is the ultimate multipurpose decisive
combat weapons system created by man.
Copy !req
178. The Artificial Human Evangelion.
Copy !req
179. Unit 01 of the series.
Copy !req
180. Built in complete secrecy,
Copy !req
181. this is mankind's very last trump card.
Copy !req
182. - This is part of my father's work?
- Correct.
Copy !req
183. It's been a while.
Copy !req
184. Father...
Copy !req
185. Launch the Eva.
Copy !req
186. Launch the Eva?
But Unit 00 is still grounded!
Copy !req
187. Wait, you want to use Unit 01?
Copy !req
188. There's no other choice.
Copy !req
189. Wait just a second!
Rei's in no condition for that!
Copy !req
190. It's got no pilot!
Copy !req
191. He just arrived.
Copy !req
192. Are you serious?
Copy !req
193. - Shinji Ikari.
- Yes?
Copy !req
194. You're going to pilot it.
Copy !req
195. But it took even Rei Ayanami seven months
to synchronize with her Eva!
Copy !req
196. He literally just got here!
He couldn't possibly do it!
Copy !req
197. All I ask is that he sit in the cockpit.
Nothing more.
Copy !req
198. But...
Copy !req
199. Repelling that Angel
is our number one priority right now.
Copy !req
200. For that, we need anyone capable of
synchronizing with an Eva to try,
Copy !req
201. however remote the chances.
Copy !req
202. I shouldn't need to tell you this,
Capt. Katsuragi.
Copy !req
203. You're right.
Copy !req
204. Father... Why did you send for me?
Copy !req
205. For the reason you're thinking.
Copy !req
206. So you want me to get inside this
and fight that thing out there?
Copy !req
207. Correct.
Copy !req
208. I don't want to do that!
Why send for me after all this time?
Copy !req
209. I thought you left me
because you didn't need me!
Copy !req
210. I do now, so I sent for you.
Copy !req
211. But why me?
Copy !req
212. Because it's impossible for anyone else.
Copy !req
213. It is for me, too. I've never seen
or heard of this thing before.
Copy !req
214. I can't possibly do it!
Copy !req
215. Learn how.
Copy !req
216. That's... That's impossible!
Copy !req
217. There's no way I can pilot this!
Copy !req
218. If you're going to pilot it, do it.
Otherwise, get out!
Copy !req
219. That bastard must have figured out
where we are.
Copy !req
220. Shinji, we don't have much time.
Copy !req
221. Get in.
Copy !req
222. No way. I just got here! This is crazy!
Copy !req
223. Tell me, Shinji. Why did you come?
Copy !req
224. Don't run away! Not from your father,
and especially not from yourself.
Copy !req
225. I know! But there's no way I can do this!
Copy !req
226. Fuyutsuki.
Copy !req
227. Wake up Rei.
Copy !req
228. Is she viable?
Copy !req
229. She isn't dead.
Copy !req
230. Understood.
Copy !req
231. - Rei?
- Yes?
Copy !req
232. The backup isn't working out.
I need you again.
Copy !req
233. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
234. Rewrite Unit 01's core system
for Rei! Reactivate!
Copy !req
235. Roger. Suspending current tasks
and initiating reactivation.
Copy !req
236. I knew it... No one wants me.
Copy !req
237. Look out!
Copy !req
238. - The Eva moved!
- What the hell?
Copy !req
239. Its right arm broke free
of its restraints!
Copy !req
240. What? That can't be!
It doesn't have an entry plug inserted!
Copy !req
241. It's incapable of moving!
Copy !req
242. It reacted without any
interface connection?
Copy !req
243. Or was it trying... to protect him?
Copy !req
244. This will work.
Copy !req
245. Don't run away.
Copy !req
246. I'll do it. I'll be the pilot!
Copy !req
247. - Cooling cycle complete!

Copy !req
254. Don't worry,
once your lungs are filled with LCL,
Copy !req
255. it will feed oxygen
directly into your bloodstream.
Copy !req
256. You'll get used to it in no time.
Copy !req
257. This is so gross.
Copy !req
258. Deal with it! You're a big boy!
Copy !req
259. - Main power connection complete!
- Feeding power to all circuits!
Copy !req
260. Roger!

humanity has no future.
Copy !req
286. Ikari, you're really sure about this?
Copy !req
287. Launch!
