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. Lakes Ashi 2 and 3...
I hope we don't get any more of them.
Copy !req
16. Chairman Keel lodged a complaint
yesterday regarding delays in the plans.
Copy !req
17. It was addressed to me personally.
Copy !req
18. The man was rather annoyed.
Copy !req
19. Towards the end, he even implied
that you would be relieved of your post.
Copy !req
20. Adam is progressing smoothly.
Copy !req
21. And Project Eva has begun work
on the Dummy Plugs.
Copy !req
22. What do those old Seele fools
have to complain about?
Copy !req
23. The key Human Instrumentality Project
is behind schedule.
Copy !req
24. All the projects are interlinked.
There are no problems.
Copy !req
25. Does that also go for Rei?
Copy !req
26. Suit yourself.
Copy !req
27. By the way, what will you do
about that man?
Copy !req
28. Let him do what he wants.
Same with the Marduk Institute.
Copy !req
29. True. They might prove useful for a while.
Copy !req
30. KYOTO
Copy !req
31. What was set in motion here 16 years ago?
Copy !req
32. It's me.
Copy !req
33. Oh, there you are.
Copy !req
34. Shannon Biotech. A chemical firm
funded with foreign capital.
Copy !req
35. It's been here for nine years, but it's
been sitting empty the whole time.
Copy !req
36. Of the 108 companies with ties to
the Marduk Institute, 106 were dummies.
Copy !req
37. And this is number 107, huh?
Copy !req
38. This is the company's registry.
Copy !req
39. You want me to look at
the board of directors, right?
Copy !req
40. - You already knew?
- I recognize most of the names.
Copy !req
41. The Marduk Institute:
Copy !req
42. An advisory body directly under
the Human Instrumentality Council
Copy !req
43. that was established to find
potential Evangelion pilots.
Copy !req
44. Its true nature is still
shrouded in mystery.
Copy !req
45. Your job is to investigate Nerv.
Sniffing around Marduk is unhealthy.
Copy !req
46. Well, I just happen to be
Copy !req
47. the type who can't let something go
until I've seen it with my own two eyes.
Copy !req
48. Hello. You've reached Kaji.
I'm out at the moment.
Copy !req
49. Please leave your name and a message.
Copy !req
50. Help me, Mr. Kaji!
Copy !req
51. Get away from me, you pervert!
Copy !req
52. That will get his attention.
Copy !req
53. What was that about?
Copy !req
54. We don't have school tomorrow
since it's Sunday.
Copy !req
55. I called Mr. Kaji to see if I could
get him to take me someplace.
Copy !req
56. But he's never home.
Copy !req
57. He's always out when I call these days.
Copy !req
58. So that means you're free tomorrow?
Copy !req
59. I hate to say it, but, yeah, I'm free.
Copy !req
60. In that case, do you think
you could do me a favor?
Copy !req
61. Here's the thing...
Copy !req
62. A date?
Copy !req
63. He's my sister Kodama's friend.
Copy !req
64. He's been begging me to introduce you two.
Copy !req
65. Please!
Copy !req
66. Head strike!
Copy !req
67. - Stay focused!
- Sorry.
Copy !req
68. Stay focused on the cleaning!
Copy !req
69. Necrosis operation complete.
Copy !req
70. Reversible graph measurements complete.
Copy !req
71. Decided what to wear tomorrow?
Copy !req
72. Oh, to the wedding, you mean?
Copy !req
73. Well, I wore my pink suit
to Kiyomi's wedding...
Copy !req
74. And I just wore that
navy blue one to Kotoko's.
Copy !req
75. Or that orange one?
You haven't worn that lately.
Copy !req
76. Oh, that one...
There's a slight problem with it.
Copy !req
77. - Too tight, huh?
- Yes.
Copy !req
78. Guess I'll buy something on my way home.
Copy !req
79. The bills just don't stop...
Copy !req
80. With all these nonstop weddings,
the gift money is really adding up.
Copy !req
81. Everyone's anxious to get hitched
before the big three-oh hits.
Copy !req
82. Yes, nobody wants to be
the last one who's still single.
Copy !req
83. Come on out, you three.
Copy !req
84. Good work today.
Copy !req
85. All we do is tests! This is so boring!
Copy !req
86. Come to think of it, Shinji seems
even more mopey than usual today.
Copy !req
87. Because of tomorrow.
Copy !req
88. Oh, right. Tomorrow...
Copy !req
89. I have to see my father tomorrow.
Copy !req
90. What do you think I should
talk to him about?
Copy !req
91. Why are you asking me?
Copy !req
92. I saw you having a nice conversation
with him one time.
Copy !req
93. So, my father... what's he like?
Copy !req
94. I don't know.
Copy !req
95. Oh.
Copy !req
96. You've been staring at me all day
because you wanted to ask me that?
Copy !req
97. When we were cleaning the classroom today,
you wrung out that rag, remember?
Copy !req
98. You seemed like a mother
when you did that.
Copy !req
99. - A mother?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
100. It seemed like the way a mother
would wring one out.
Copy !req
101. Who knows, maybe you would
make a good housewife, Ayanami!
Copy !req
102. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
103. - I'm home.
- Welcome back.
Copy !req
104. You should get to bed.
Don't you have a date tomorrow?
Copy !req
105. Yeah, with a hot guy.
Copy !req
106. That reminds me!
Lend me that lavender perfume of yours!
Copy !req
107. Forget it.
Copy !req
108. Geez, don't be so stingy!
Copy !req
109. Kids don't need perfume.
Is Shinji in his room?
Copy !req
110. He's been holed up in there all evening.
I don't think he wants to see his dad.
Copy !req
111. If he doesn't want to go, he should just
say so! I swear, you Japanese people...
Copy !req
112. He's loathing and eager at the same time.
Copy !req
113. That's what makes this difficult for him.
Copy !req
114. Get out!
Copy !req
115. Good work, Shinji.
Copy !req
116. Shinji? I'm coming in.
Copy !req
117. Are you afraid to be alone
with your father?
Copy !req
118. All this running away
from him isn't healthy.
Copy !req
119. Unless you take that first step,
nothing's ever going to change.
Copy !req
120. I know that!
Copy !req
121. You'll understand someday.
Copy !req
122. It's not just that first step.
What's important is to keep on walking.
Copy !req
123. Anyway, keep your chin up tomorrow.
You'll be seeing your mother, too.
Copy !req
124. Good night.
Copy !req
125. You bought a new outfit
for tomorrow? Let me see!
Copy !req
126. You want to see it? It's really expensive!
Copy !req
127. Style trumps price.
Copy !req
128. No worries on that score!
Copy !req
129. So... do you buy your outfits
based on what Mr. Kaji likes?
Copy !req
130. Absolutely not. Not anymore.
Copy !req
131. THE NEXT DAY
Copy !req
132. - Well...
- I'll see...
Copy !req
133. you later.
Copy !req
134. Always remember, "Happy wife, happy life"!
Copy !req
135. The red, the blue, the yellow...
Copy !req
136. And now, let's all mingle for a while.
Copy !req
137. MR. RYOJI KAJI
Copy !req
138. Ryoji sure is late.
Copy !req
139. That moron's never been on time
to anything in his life!
Copy !req
140. Only for your dates.
He's always been on time for work.
Copy !req
141. Hi, ladies! You two look
even lovelier than usual!
Copy !req
142. Sorry, I couldn't get away from work.
Copy !req
143. Says the guy who stands around
like he's got nothing to do!
Copy !req
144. And not like I care, but can't you
do something about that stubble?
Copy !req
145. Geez, even your tie is crooked!
Copy !req
146. Thank you kindly.
Copy !req
147. You two are like an old married couple.
Copy !req
148. I like the sound of that, Ritchan!
Copy !req
149. Marry a jerk like him?
Copy !req
150. It's been three years since
we last came here together.
Copy !req
151. I ran away from home after that.
I haven't been back since.
Copy !req
152. It hardly seems like
mother is resting here.
Copy !req
153. I can't even remember her face.
Copy !req
154. Forgetting is what
lets people go on living.
Copy !req
155. But there are some things
that we must never forget.
Copy !req
156. That's an important lesson
that Yui taught me.
Copy !req
157. I come here to remind myself
of that lesson.
Copy !req
158. Don't you have any pictures?
Copy !req
159. None. This grave itself is a facade.
There's no body.
Copy !req
160. They said you threw everything away.
You really did.
Copy !req
161. You keep what's important inside you.
That's enough for now.
Copy !req
162. It's time. I need to go.
Copy !req
163. Father!
Copy !req
164. Um, I'm glad I had the chance
to talk to you today.
Copy !req
165. I see.
Copy !req
166. You're pretty good!
I didn't even know you had one of those.
Copy !req
167. I started when I was five,
and that's the best I can do.
Copy !req
168. I don't have any talent for it.
Copy !req
169. Perseverance pays off, huh?
That's mildly impressive.
Copy !req
170. I started because my teacher suggested it.
I could have stopped at any time.
Copy !req
171. Then why didn't you?
Copy !req
172. Because no one told me to.
Copy !req
173. Sounds about right.
Copy !req
174. You're sure back early. I thought
you'd at least stay out for dinner.
Copy !req
175. That guy was so boring!
Copy !req
176. I ditched him when we were
in line for the rollercoaster.
Copy !req
177. Wow, that's mean.
Copy !req
178. The only decent guy
around here is Mr. Kaji!
Copy !req
179. Oh, come on, you're bringing that up now?
Copy !req
180. - I'll be in the ladies' room.
- You'd better not try to ditch us!
Copy !req
181. She's in heels...
Copy !req
182. How many years has it been since
the three of us went out drinking?
Copy !req
183. I think Misato has had enough.
She's particularly bubbly tonight.
Copy !req
184. She drinks more when she's
trying to rein herself in.
Copy !req
185. Maybe it's the opposite tonight.
Copy !req
186. As someone who lived with her,
you would certainly know her best.
Copy !req
187. We lived together, but that was before
she started wearing heels.
Copy !req
188. Yes, I never would have pictured her
like this back in college.
Copy !req
189. I was just a kid, too.
Copy !req
190. It was less "living together" than it was
two kids sharing living arrangements.
Copy !req
191. We were playing house.
Life is never that simple.
Copy !req
192. Oh, right.
Here's a cat trinket I picked up.
Copy !req
193. Why, thank you. You're so thoughtful.
Copy !req
194. Only with the ladies.
With work, I'm lazy as hell.
Copy !req
195. I doubt that. Get anything for Misato?
Copy !req
196. I already lost that war. I'm not the type
who fights battles he can't win.
Copy !req
197. I think you have a chance.
Copy !req
198. How about you?
Copy !req
199. I make a point to not talk about myself.
I'm really not that interesting.
Copy !req
200. Katsuragi sure is taking her time.
Is she fixing her makeup or something?
Copy !req
201. So, what were you doing in Kyoto?
Copy !req
202. Huh? I picked that up in Matsushiro!
Copy !req
203. Don't play dumb.
If you dig too deep, you'll get burned.
Copy !req
204. Advice from a concerned friend.
Copy !req
205. I'll take it to heart.
Copy !req
206. If I'll get burned anyway,
I want it be from us—
Copy !req
207. - Can I buy some matches for you?
- Hey, you're back.
Copy !req
208. You'll never change. Always the flirt.
Copy !req
209. Sure, I've changed.
As they say, to live is to change.
Copy !req
210. Homeostasis and transistasis.
Copy !req
211. What are those?
Copy !req
212. The ability to maintain the status quo
and the ability to change.
Copy !req
213. All living things possess
both of those contradictory traits.
Copy !req
214. Sounds like men and women.
Copy !req
215. Well, I have to run.
I still have work to do.
Copy !req
216. - Really?
- That's too bad.
Copy !req
217. See you.
Copy !req
218. Sure.
Copy !req
219. Is that you, Shinji? It's me!
Copy !req
220. I'm out drinking with Kaji.
Yeah, an after-after-party.
Copy !req
221. Okay. Sure. Bye.
Copy !req
222. Was that Misato?
Copy !req
223. Yeah. She said she'll be home late,
so we shouldn't wait up.
Copy !req
224. Huh? She isn't going to
stay out all night, is she?
Copy !req
225. Why would she?
I mean, Mr. Kaji is with her.
Copy !req
226. Are you stupid? That's exactly why!
Copy !req
227. You're too old to throw up.
Copy !req
228. Well, pardon me for being old...
Copy !req
229. - I guess we're in the same boat.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
230. It's because you're wearing those heels.
I really feel the years.
Copy !req
231. Shave this stupid stubble...
Copy !req
232. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
233. I'll walk from here. Thanks.
Copy !req
234. Kaji? Do you think I've changed?
Copy !req
235. You're more beautiful.
Copy !req
236. I'm sorry I broke up with you
out of the blue back then.
Copy !req
237. That stuff about
finding someone else... I lied.
Copy !req
238. - Did you know?
- No.
Copy !req
239. It suddenly hit me.
I noticed how much you're like my father.
Copy !req
240. I was looking for my father in other men.
Copy !req
241. When I realized that, I freaked out.
Copy !req
242. I was scared to death.
Copy !req
243. I was scared of being with you.
Of being a woman.
Copy !req
244. I was terrified of everything.
Copy !req
245. I hated my father, but then I fall
for a man who was just like him.
Copy !req
246. I joined Nerv to try to
put all of that behind me.
Copy !req
247. But my father had also belonged
to that organization.
Copy !req
248. I was deluding myself by thinking I was
in this to get revenge against the Angels.
Copy !req
249. It's what you chose, Katsuragi.
You don't have to apologize to me.
Copy !req
250. No, I didn't! I didn't choose anything!
Copy !req
251. I was just running away!
Copy !req
252. Trying to break free of the hold
my father has over me!
Copy !req
253. I'm no different from Shinji!
Copy !req
254. I'm such a coward.
Copy !req
255. I'm sorry, really.
It's the alcohol talking.
Copy !req
256. You don't need to hear this.
Copy !req
257. Drop it.
Copy !req
258. I'm such a child! I don't have any right
to look down my nose at Shinji.
Copy !req
259. Drop it!
Copy !req
260. And to make it worse,
Copy !req
261. I'm a conniving bitch who only asks men
for help when it's convenient for her!
Copy !req
262. Even back then,
maybe I was just using you!
Copy !req
263. - I hate myself!
- Drop it! That's enough!
Copy !req
264. I can't live with myself anymore!
Copy !req
265. Hey, Shinji. Want to kiss?
Copy !req
266. What?
Copy !req
267. I said, let's kiss.
You haven't kissed a girl before, right?
Copy !req
268. - Let's kiss, then.
- Why?
Copy !req
269. Because I'm bored.
Copy !req
270. You want to kiss because you're bored?
That's your reason?
Copy !req
271. You don't want to kiss me because it's
the anniversary of your mom's death?
Copy !req
272. You're afraid that mommy might
be watching you from Heaven?
Copy !req
273. - Not really.
- Or are you afraid?
Copy !req
274. I'm not afraid! It's just a kiss!
Copy !req
275. You've brushed your teeth, right?
Copy !req
276. - Yeah.
- Then here goes.
Copy !req
277. The breath from your nose
is tickling me. Hold your breath.
Copy !req
278. Blech! That's definitely not something
you should do to kill time!
Copy !req
279. Okay, you're home. Pull yourself together.
Copy !req
280. Mr. Kaji!
Copy !req
281. Mr. Kaji!
Copy !req
282. Well, I should get going.
Copy !req
283. Why don't you stay here tonight?
Copy !req
284. I'll be the office laughing stock
if I show up for work in this.
Copy !req
285. Don't worry about that!
Copy !req
286. Come on, Mr. Kaji!
Copy !req
287. See you later.
Copy !req
288. He smells like lavender.
Copy !req
289. Sorry, you two.
Take care of Katsuragi, okay?
Copy !req
290. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
291. - Good night, then.
- Good night.
Copy !req
292. What's wrong? You look bummed out.
Copy !req
293. Because I kissed an idiot like you!
Copy !req
294. THE NEXT DAY
Copy !req
295. All right, let's have one of
the girl students continue. Ayanami.
Copy !req
296. Is Ayanami gone again today?
Copy !req
297. NERV HEADQUARTERS

Copy !req
299. CENTRAL DOGMA

Copy !req
301. TERMINAL DOGMA
Copy !req
302. Hey. How's the hangover this morning?
Copy !req
303. - Finally better, thanks to you.
- That's good to hear.
Copy !req
304. Is this your real job?
Or is it a side gig?
Copy !req
305. Good question.
Copy !req
306. You're Ryoji Kaji, Department of Special
Inspections, Special Agency Nerv.
Copy !req
307. But you're also Ryoji Kaji, belonging
to the Japanese Home Ministry's
Copy !req
308. Department of Investigations.
Copy !req
309. - I guess you know everything.
- Don't underestimate Nerv.
Copy !req
310. Did Commander Ikari send you?
Copy !req
311. No, I'm here on my own.
Copy !req
312. If you don't give up
your side gig, you're dead.
Copy !req
313. I'm useful to Commander Ikari.
I'm still safe.
Copy !req
314. But I do apologize
for keeping secrets from you.
Copy !req
315. I owe you for yesterday,
so we'll call it even.
Copy !req
316. You're too kind.
Copy !req
317. But the Commander and Ritchan
are keeping secrets from you, too.
Copy !req
318. And that... is this.
Copy !req
319. Is that...
Copy !req
320. an Eva?
Copy !req
321. No... It can't be!
Copy !req
322. It is. The key to all that's happened
since the Second Impact.
Copy !req
323. As well as its beginning.
Copy !req
324. This is Adam.
Copy !req
325. Adam? The 1st Angel is here?
Copy !req
326. I guess there really is
more to Nerv then I thought.
Copy !req
327. TO BE CONTINUED
Copy !req
328. Shinji grows cocky,
and he becomes trapped in a Dirac sea.
Copy !req

it teaches him the meaning of despair.
