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. It's my lucky day!
Copy !req
16. I never thought you would
come shopping with me, Mr. Kaji!
Copy !req
17. Hey, now... This is the swimsuit section!
Copy !req
18. Look at this one! What do you think?
Copy !req
19. I'm not so sure. Isn't that a little
risqué for a junior high schooler?
Copy !req
20. You're so behind the times! No one
bats an eye at suits like this nowadays!
Copy !req
21. Oh. Is that the case?
Copy !req
22. This is our big school trip!
We have to cut loose and have fun!
Copy !req
23. Where are you going?
Copy !req
24. Okinawa!
Copy !req
25. The itinerary even has
scuba diving listed!
Copy !req
26. Scuba diving, huh?
Copy !req
27. It must be three years
since I last went diving.
Copy !req
28. So, where did you go for your school trip?
Copy !req
29. Oh, us? We didn't have one.
Copy !req
30. Why not?
Copy !req
31. The Second Impact had just happened.
Copy !req
32. We can't go on the school trip?
Copy !req
33. - Nope.
- Why not?
Copy !req
34. - You have to be on standby.
- Nobody said anything about that!
Copy !req
35. - I just did.
- Who made that decision?
Copy !req
36. I did, as your operations director.
Copy !req
37. You! Stop sipping that tea
and stand up for us!
Copy !req
38. Be a man, damn it!
Copy !req
39. Actually, I figured that something
like this would probably happen.
Copy !req
40. Meaning you had already written it off?
Copy !req
41. You're so pathetic. There's nothing
worse than a domesticated man!
Copy !req
42. Come on, don't put it like that.
Copy !req
43. I can sympathize, Asuka.
Copy !req
44. But this is out of our hands.
Copy !req
45. There might be an Angel attack
while you're away on your trip, right?
Copy !req
46. Day after day, it's always the same!
Standby, standby, standby, standby!
Copy !req
47. We're always on the defensive against
an enemy that could attack at any time!
Copy !req
48. Why don't we figure out where they are
and take the fight to them for once?
Copy !req
49. Trust me, we would if we could.
Copy !req
50. Besides, you two should think of this
as a great opportunity.
Copy !req
51. You'll be able to focus on your studies
while your classmates are away, right?
Copy !req
52. Did you think I didn't know?
Copy !req
53. Did you really think you could
hide your test results from me?
Copy !req
54. I can easily find out every last score
you got on your tests at school.
Copy !req
55. They're so idiotic. Test scores
and grades don't mean anything!
Copy !req
56. A system that penalizes errors instead
of rewarding brains is so unenlightened!
Copy !req
57. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Copy !req
58. I need you to get adjusted
to school life in Japan.
Copy !req
59. Screw that!
Copy !req
60. Asuka, I'll bring you
some great souvenirs!
Copy !req
61. Aw! Tough luck, you guys!
Copy !req
62. We'll have enough fun for the both of you!
Copy !req
63. Paste a copy of the Mt. Asama
observational data
Copy !req
64. from Balthasar to Melchior
as soon as possible.
Copy !req
65. A school trip? That's a frivolous
distraction in these trying times.
Copy !req
66. They want to have fun while they can
for precisely that reason.
Copy !req
67. What are you doing?
Copy !req
68. Studying for science class.
Copy !req
69. Geez, you're such a goody two-shoes.
Copy !req
70. Make fun of me if you want,
but I need to do this.
Copy !req
71. Ta-dah!
Copy !req
72. Since I can't scuba dive in Okinawa,
I'm gonna dive right here!
Copy !req
73. Um, okay.
Copy !req
74. So, what are you reviewing?
Copy !req
75. Let me have a look.
Copy !req
76. What, you can't solve
an easy equation like this?
Copy !req
77. There, all done. It's simple!
Copy !req
78. How come you can do this tough stuff,
but you flunk our tests at school?
Copy !req
79. I couldn't figure out
what the test sheets said.
Copy !req
80. You mean you couldn't read the questions
that were written in Japanese?
Copy !req
81. Yup. I haven't learned
all of your kanji characters yet.
Copy !req
82. I didn't learn them in college back home.
Copy !req
83. - College?
- Yeah, I graduated last year.
Copy !req
84. So, what does this one say?
Copy !req
85. It's about thermal expansion.
Copy !req
86. Thermal expansion?
Wow, you're reviewing elementary stuff.
Copy !req
87. Long story short,
stuff expands when it gets hot
Copy !req
88. and shrinks when it gets cold.
Copy !req
89. Yeah, I suppose so...
Copy !req
90. I wonder if my boobs would
get bigger if I warmed them up.
Copy !req
91. Don't ask me! How should I know?
Copy !req
92. You're one seriously boring guy.
Copy !req
93. Hey, Shinji! Check this out!
Copy !req
94. Back-roll entry!
Copy !req
95. It's impossible to make anything out.
Copy !req
96. But I concur with the Mt. Asama
Earthquake Research Institute.
Copy !req
97. This shadow is troubling.
Copy !req
98. We can't dismiss it, of course.
Copy !req
99. - What was the Magi's assessment?
- Fifty-fifty, ma'am.
Copy !req
100. - Is anyone on-site?
- Capt. Katsuragi is already there.
Copy !req
101. We're at its limit!
Copy !req
102. No, give me another 500.
Copy !req
103. Depth, 1,200. Cracks appearing
in pressure bulkhead.
Copy !req
104. Ms. Katsuragi!
Copy !req
105. If it breaks, we'll reimburse you.
Give me another 200.
Copy !req
106. Sensor readings!
Copy !req
107. - Begin analysis.
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
108. Probe has imploded due to pressure.
Copy !req
109. Did you finish?
Copy !req
110. Just barely. It's Pattern Blue.
Copy !req
111. Then we know for sure. It's an Angel.
Copy !req
112. This facility is hereby sequestered!
It is now under Nerv jurisdiction!
Copy !req
113. No one is allowed in or out,
Copy !req
114. and all information pertaining to
the last six hours is now top secret!
Copy !req
115. Request approval for an A-17
from Cdr. Ikari! On the double!
Copy !req
116. Be careful, ma'am.
This line is not secure.
Copy !req
117. I know that!
Copy !req
118. Hurry up and switch me over
to a secure line!
Copy !req
119. A-17? We're going on the offensive?
Copy !req
120. Correct.
Copy !req
121. It's too dangerous. Don't pretend you've
forgotten what happened 15 years ago.
Copy !req
122. This is a golden opportunity.
Copy !req
123. We can finally take the fight to them,
rather than remain on the defensive.
Copy !req
124. The risk is too great.
Copy !req
125. This is a living Angel specimen.
I needn't stress the significance of that.
Copy !req
126. Failure will not be tolerated.
Copy !req
127. Failure? Failure would mean
the extinction of humanity.
Copy !req
128. Are you sure this is wise?
Copy !req
129. - That's an Angel?
- Yes.
Copy !req
130. It seems to be in a pupal stage,
an undeveloped state prior to maturity.
Copy !req
131. The top priority of this mission
is to capture this Angel.
Copy !req
132. You are to recover it alive,
with as little damage as possible.
Copy !req
133. And if we can't?
Copy !req
134. - Immediate destruction. Understood?
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
135. - This operation's pilot will be—
- Me, me! I'll do the dive!
Copy !req
136. I'll probably get stuck
doing it again anyway.
Copy !req
137. Asuka.
Copy !req
138. - Carry out the operation in Unit 02.
- Yes, ma'am!
Copy !req
139. - This will be a piece of cake!
- What about me?
Copy !req
140. Unit 00 is a prototype, so it's
incompatible with special equipment.
Copy !req
141. Rei, you and Unit 00
will stay at HQ on standby.
Copy !req
142. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
143. Gee, that's too bad! You won't be able
to go to the hot springs with us!
Copy !req
144. The A-17 is already in effect,
so we need to get to work right away.
Copy !req
145. - Go suit up.
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
146. This is supposed to be heat resistant,
but it doesn't seem any different.
Copy !req
147. Press the button on the right cuff.
Copy !req
148. No!
Copy !req
149. What the hell is this?
Copy !req
150. Unit 02 is suited up, too.
Copy !req
151. No!
Copy !req
152. What is it wearing?
Copy !req
153. Gear that protects against heat,
pressure, and radiation.
Copy !req
154. Type D configuration,
meant for localized warfare.
Copy !req
155. That's my... That's my Unit 02?
Copy !req
156. No way! I'm out!
I can't be seen in public like this!
Copy !req
157. Embarrassment is Shinji's thing,
so let him do it!
Copy !req
158. I'm sorry to hear that.
Copy !req
159. I was hoping to see you in action, Asuka.
Copy !req
160. No!
Copy !req
161. I don't have the guts to let you
see me dressed like this, Mr. Kaji!
Copy !req
162. - This is a problem.
- It certainly is.
Copy !req
163. Um, I'll—
Copy !req
164. I'll go in Unit 02.
Copy !req
165. I don't want you laying a finger
on my Unit 02! Sorry, girl!
Copy !req
166. If it means stopping the First, I'll go.
Copy !req
167. I know you look terrible,
but hang in there, okay?
Copy !req
168. Eva-01 and 02 have arrived.
Copy !req
169. Stand by for further instructions.
Copy !req
170. Expedite the laser firing
and the crane preparations.
Copy !req
171. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
172. Hey, where's Mr. Kaji?
Copy !req
173. That idiot won't be here.
There's nothing for him to do.
Copy !req
174. Crud, and here I was hoping
to show off in front of him.
Copy !req
175. An A-17 declaration, huh?
Copy !req
176. That allows for the freezing
of available assets.
Copy !req
177. That will ruffle the feathers
of a lot of people, I think.
Copy !req
178. Why didn't you stop them?
Copy !req
179. There was no reason to.
The order was issued legitimately.
Copy !req
180. Failure on Nerv's part will spell
the destruction of the world.
Copy !req
181. They're not that arrogant.
Copy !req
182. What are those planes?
Copy !req
183. The UN Air Force
is on standby alert above us.
Copy !req
184. Until this operation ends.
Copy !req
185. They're here to help?
Copy !req
186. - No, to clean up the mess.
- If we fail, that is.
Copy !req
187. Meaning what, exactly?
Copy !req
188. They'll incinerate the Angel using
N2 mines. And us along with it.
Copy !req
189. That's horrible!
Copy !req
190. Who would give an order like that?
Copy !req
191. Commander Ikari.
Copy !req
192. - Laser firing complete.
- Ingress route clear.
Copy !req
193. Type D gear is good to go.
Copy !req
194. Unit 02 is in launch position.
Copy !req
195. Roger that.
Copy !req
196. - Asuka, are you ready?
- Ready whenever you are.
Copy !req
197. Launch!
Copy !req
198. Wow, that looks hot!
Copy !req
199. Unit 02 about to enter magma.
Copy !req
200. Hey, check this out, Shinji!
Copy !req
201. Giant strong entry!
Copy !req
202. Depth, 170. Rate of descent, 20.
Copy !req
203. All systems show green.
Copy !req
204. Visibility, zero.
I can't make anything out.
Copy !req
205. Switching to CT monitor.
Copy !req
206. Even with this,
visibility is still only 120.
Copy !req
207. Depth, 400. Four hundred and fifty.
Copy !req
208. Five hundred. Five hundred and fifty.
Copy !req
209. Six hundred. Six hundred and fifty.
Copy !req
210. Nine hundred. Nine hundred and fifty.
Copy !req
211. One thousand. One thousand and twenty.
Copy !req
212. Exceeding design depth!
Copy !req
213. Depth, 1,300.
Now at predicted target location.
Copy !req
214. Asuka, can you see anything?
Copy !req
215. I'm not reading anything. It's not here.
Copy !req
216. The convection current must be
stronger than expected.
Copy !req
217. There's a deviation in
the target's movement speed.
Copy !req
218. Recalculate it ASAP.
Copy !req
219. Continue operation.
Resume descent, please.
Copy !req
220. Depth, 1,350. Fourteen hundred.
Copy !req
221. Cracks appearing in conduit pipe no. 2.
Copy !req
222. Depth, 1,480!
Copy !req
223. We've exceeded operating depth!
Copy !req
224. We still haven't made contact
with the target.
Copy !req
225. Keep going.
Copy !req
226. - What's your status, Asuka?
- Still good for now.
Copy !req
227. I want to wrap this up
and hit the showers!
Copy !req
228. I know a good hot spring near here.
Let's go there after we're done.
Copy !req
229. Keep at it just a little more.
Copy !req
230. Operating depth +120!
Copy !req
231. Eva-02 has lost Prog Knife.
Copy !req
232. Operating depth +200!
Copy !req
233. Ms. Katsuragi, we can't keep this up!
Copy !req
234. This isn't an unmanned probe!
Copy !req
235. I'm in command of this operation.
Please keep going.
Copy !req
236. Misato is right.
Don't worry, I'm still good to go.
Copy !req
237. Depth, 1,780. Now at revised
estimated target position.
Copy !req
238. There it is!
Copy !req
239. - We have visual confirmation of target.
- Prepare for capture.
Copy !req
240. You're both being swept along
by convection currents,
Copy !req
241. so you'll only have one shot at this.
Copy !req
242. I know. Leave it to me.
Copy !req
243. T minus 30 to target contact!
Copy !req
244. Relative speed, 2.2.
Our trajectories are matched.
Copy !req
245. Super EM photon screen engaged.
Systems green.
Copy !req
246. Target captured!
Copy !req
247. Nice one, Asuka!
Copy !req
248. Capture operation complete.
Will now begin ascent.
Copy !req
249. - Asuka, are you okay?
- Of course I am!
Copy !req
250. Like they say,
"The fear is greater than the danger."
Copy !req
251. Didn't I say this would be easy?
Copy !req
252. Damn, this is more like
a sauna suit than a plug suit!
Copy !req
253. I want to jump into a hot spring so bad.
Copy !req
254. She sure got over
her case of nerves quickly.
Copy !req
255. - Oh?
- This operation also had you worried.
Copy !req
256. A little.
Copy !req
257. If we had failed, we would have had
another one on our hands.
Copy !req
258. You're right... Another Second Impact.
Copy !req
259. One was more than enough.
Copy !req
260. What's it doing?
Copy !req
261. Oh, no! It's starting to hatch!
This is sooner than we predicted!
Copy !req
262. - What about the cage?
- It won't hold!
Copy !req
263. Abort the capture! Drop the cage!
Copy !req
264. Change operation! Top priority
is now destruction of the Angel!
Copy !req
265. Unit 02, prepare for combat
and be ready for withdrawal!
Copy !req
266. Music to my ears!
Copy !req
267. I forgot! I dropped my knife!
Copy !req
268. It's coming at me!
Copy !req
269. Releasing ballast!
Copy !req
270. It's fast!
Copy !req
271. This is bad news... I've lost the target.
Copy !req
272. Plus, visibility is bad.
Copy !req
273. It's damn hot in here,
Copy !req
274. and my sweat is making this suit
all clingy and gross!
Copy !req
275. - Can this get any worse?
- Asuka!
Copy !req
276. Unit 01 is going to toss
its knife to you! Catch it!
Copy !req
277. Roger!
Copy !req
278. Oh, crap! Where's that knife, Shinji?
Copy !req
279. Knife arrival in 40.
Copy !req
280. Angel closing in fast!
Copy !req
281. No! Stay away!
Copy !req
282. Hurry up, damn it!
Copy !req
283. It's taking too long!
Copy !req
284. Damn it!
Copy !req
285. I can't believe it!
It opened its mouth down there!
Copy !req
286. Its physiology is incredible.
Copy !req
287. - Damage to left leg!
- Isolating heat intrusion!
Copy !req
288. Damn you to hell!
Copy !req
289. It's adapted to this high-heat
and high-pressure environment.
Copy !req
290. - That Prog Knife is useless.
- What can we do, then?
Copy !req
291. - I've got it!
- That science problem!
Copy !req
292. Chew on this!
Copy !req
293. I see what she's doing! Thermal expansion!
Copy !req
294. Divert all coolant pressure
to conduit no. 3! Hurry!
Copy !req
295. No fair, I killed the thing...
Copy !req
296. This sucks. Is this the end of the line?
Copy !req
297. Shinji?
Copy !req
298. Dummy. You're really pressing your luck.
Copy !req
299. OUMIYA
Copy !req
300. Hello?
Copy !req
301. Is there anybody from Nerv here?
Copy !req
302. Coming!
Copy !req
303. COLD-SHIP PACKAGE
Copy !req
304. Sign here, please.
Copy !req
305. Here you go. Thanks!
Copy !req
306. It's from Mr. Kaji? I wonder what it is.
Copy !req
307. The bath is down the hall, on the left.
Copy !req
308. GENTLEMEN
Copy !req
309. I'm in Heaven...
Copy !req
310. I never knew a bath could feel this great.
Copy !req
311. Shinji? Can you hear me?
Copy !req
312. - Yes, ma'am?
- Could you toss us your body shampoo?
Copy !req
313. - We ran out over here!
- Sure!
Copy !req
314. - Here it comes!
- Ready!
Copy !req
315. Ow! Idiot!
Watch where you're aiming, you klutz!
Copy !req
316. Sorry.
Copy !req
317. I can't believe he hit me there!
Copy !req
318. Huh? Where?
Copy !req
319. Wow, Asuka!
Your skin is so soft and supple!
Copy !req
320. Hey, don't! I'm ticklish there!
Copy !req
321. Oh? How about here?
Copy !req
322. Hey, don't touch me there!
Copy !req
323. Oh, don't be such a baby!
Copy !req
324. I expanded down there...
Talk about embarrassing.
Copy !req
325. Oh, this? I got hurt during
the Second Impact.
Copy !req
326. You know, don't you? All about me.
Copy !req
327. Well, it's my job.
Copy !req
328. That's ancient history.
Don't let it bother you.
