1. Like a cruel angelCopy !req
2. Become a legend, young boyCopy !req
3. When a blue wind
Knocks on the door to your heartCopy !req
4. You just gaze back at me
And smile oh so gentlyCopy !req
5. So eager for something
You touch so softlyCopy !req
6. Those innocent eyes
Know nothing of the fate that awaitsCopy !req
7. But one day, you will realize
That upon your backCopy !req
8. You have wings
You can fly to the faraway futureCopy !req
9. The cruel angel's thesisCopy !req
10. One day, you'll take off through a windowCopy !req
11. If your overflowing pathosCopy !req
12. Leads you to betray your memoriesCopy !req
13. Then embrace the heavens and shine brightCopy !req
14. Become legend, young boyCopy !req
15. Hm? Shinji, are you using
a different soup stock?Copy !req
16. Yes, that's bonito stock.
It was a present from Ms. Ritsuko.Copy !req
17. That's too hot!Copy !req
18. Sorry.Copy !req
19. You always apologize instantly!
Do you really even feel sorry?Copy !req
20. It's like a conditioned response with you!
You do it so people won't yell at you!Copy !req
21. - Sorry.
- See?Copy !req
22. You're too intropunitive! Fundamentally!Copy !req
23. Come on now.
That's just the way Shinji is.Copy !req
24. And you! You're too quick
to put up with his crap!Copy !req
25. Don't you think you've been
too soft on Shinji lately?Copy !req
26. Really?Copy !req
27. Just because you got back
together with Mr. Kaji,Copy !req
28. don't try to push your happy-happy
vibe onto the rest of us!Copy !req
29. There's nothing going on
between Kaji and me.Copy !req
30. Hey, Katsuragi! I found a bar with
great booze. You free tonight? Later.Copy !req
31. But what do I know? I've never been
in a sleazy adult relationship.Copy !req
32. But here you are, acting like a paragon
of virtue! What a hypocrite!Copy !req
33. You make me want to puke!Copy !req
34. Type-B harmonics test, results normal.Copy !req
35. Adjusted depth values have all been met.Copy !req
36. You look kind of tired, Ms. Misato.Copy !req
37. I have a lot on my plate. Personal stuff.Copy !req
38. - Involving Ryoji?
- Don't go there!Copy !req
39. So, how's the Third Children doing?Copy !req
40. - Take a look at this.
- At what?Copy !req
41. I hope this gives him a confidence boost.Copy !req
42. Do you read me, Shinji?Copy !req
43. How did I do on the test, Ms. Misato?Copy !req
44. Congrats! You are number one!Copy !req
45. Well, this stinks. He blew right past me.Copy !req
46. He did it so effortlessly
it's a little frustrating, you know?Copy !req
47. He's amazing! Magnificent!
Tough! Too tough!Copy !req
48. Ooh, Shinji the Mighty!Copy !req
49. Our jobs will be so much easier
thanks to him!Copy !req
50. Right?Copy !req
51. We'll have to work super-duper hard
to keep him from leaving us in the dust!Copy !req
52. Farewell.Copy !req
53. TOKYO-3, YUMOTO STATIONCopy !req
54. The next stop is Seisho-Kanose.
Seisho-Kanose.Copy !req
55. The stop is next to Bashar,
the used book and video store.Copy !req
56. Yeah!Copy !req
57. Evacuation of Nishi ward
will take five more minutes!Copy !req
58. Target advancing slowly.
Rate of speed, 2.5 kph.Copy !req
59. What kept you?Copy !req
60. Sorry! What happened? No report from
the Mt. Fuji radio observation post?Copy !req
61. It wasn't on their scopes! It appeared
out of nowhere right on top of us!Copy !req
62. Pattern Orange! No A.T. Field detected!Copy !req
63. - What's that mean?
- Is it a new type of Angel?Copy !req
64. The Magi are reserving judgment.Copy !req
65. Damn it, what a time for
Commander Ikari to be away...Copy !req
66. Do you all read me?Copy !req
67. As you can see in the data we sent,Copy !req
68. we don't have a lot to go on.Copy !req
69. Approach the target carefully
and see how it responds.Copy !req
70. If possible, lure it outside the city.Copy !req
71. One of you will take point,
with the rest providing cover. Got it?Copy !req
72. Ooh! Ms. Katsuragi! I think Shinji
is the best man to take point!Copy !req
73. This is obviously a job for the man's man
who has the best grades, is the bravest,Copy !req
74. and who has the number one
synchro rate, right?Copy !req
75. Or don't you think you can do it, Shinji?Copy !req
76. I can handle it!Copy !req
77. I'll show you how it's done, Asuka!Copy !req
78. What did you say to me?Copy !req
79. Cool your jets, kids.Copy !req
80. You're the one who said it, Ms. Misato.
I'm number one.Copy !req
81. Um, that was—Copy !req
82. Fighting is a man's job!Copy !req
83. That's so antiquated!Copy !req
84. Unit 02, providing cover!Copy !req
85. Unit 00, also providing cover.Copy !req
86. Those kids just completely ignored me.Copy !req
87. Shinji's really come around,
don't you think?Copy !req
88. Not like this. He needs a good
talking-to when he gets back.Copy !req
89. You know, you have the makings
of a fine foster mother.Copy !req
90. CLOSED TO GENERAL VEHICLESCopy !req
91. - Ayanami, Asuka, are you in position?
- Not yet.Copy !req
92. We can't cover that much
ground that quickly!Copy !req
93. Where are they?Copy !req
94. I guess I should pin down this Angel.Copy !req
95. It disappeared!Copy !req
96. What is it?Copy !req
97. Pattern Blue! Angel detected!
It's right below Unit 01!Copy !req
98. Its shadow!Copy !req
99. What is this thing? This makes no sense!Copy !req
100. Shinji, get out of there! Shinji!Copy !req
101. - Shinji!
- What are you doing, you idiot?Copy !req
102. Ms. Misato! What's happening? Ms. Misato!Copy !req
103. Asuka! Ayanami! I need backup!Copy !req
104. Ms. Misato, do you read me?Copy !req
105. Eject entry plug! Send the signal!Copy !req
106. Negative! There's no response!Copy !req
107. Ms. Misato! Ms. Misato!Copy !req
108. Shinji!Copy !req
109. Asuka! Rei! Rescue Unit 01, hurry!Copy !req
110. That idiot! Perfect scores on mock tests
don't mean a thing out here!Copy !req
111. - It vanished again!
- Asuka, be careful!Copy !req
112. A shadow!Copy !req
113. Oh, no!Copy !req
114. The city, it's...Copy !req
115. Asuka, Rei, fall back.Copy !req
116. - Wai—
- Wait!Copy !req
117. Unit 01 and Shinji are still in there.Copy !req
118. That's an order. Fall back.Copy !req
119. This must be hard on Major Katsuragi.Copy !req
120. When they reeled in the umbilical cable,Copy !req
121. nothing was attached to the end.Copy !req
122. But that means...Copy !req
123. There's not much left
in his Eva's internal batteries,Copy !req
124. but if Shinji can refrain from moving
around and stay in life-support mode,Copy !req
125. he can stay alive for 16 hours.Copy !req
126. Second tank platoon in position.Copy !req
127. Roger. Hold position and stand by.Copy !req
128. Opening sub laser comm line. Send specs.Copy !req
129. Link confirmed.
Transmitting over C channel.Copy !req
130. - UN Forces have set up a perimeter.
- And the shadow?Copy !req
131. No movement. It grew to just past
600 meters in diameter and stopped.Copy !req
132. How are ground forces going to be
any use against that, though?Copy !req
133. They're here as a show of strength.
Directed at us.Copy !req
134. What a mess. He rushed in by himself
and ignored the plan.Copy !req
135. He has no one to blame but himself.Copy !req
136. Just because the idiot did okay
on that test yesterday,Copy !req
137. he goes, "I'll show you how it's done!"Copy !req
138. He got too big for his britches!Copy !req
139. What, you don't like it when
people bad-mouth Shinji?Copy !req
140. Do you pilot your Eva
to be praised by others?Copy !req
141. No, not by others! I pilot it
because I want to praise myself!Copy !req
142. That's enough, you two.Copy !req
143. It's true, he rushed in
without permission.Copy !req
144. That's why I have to chew him out
when he gets back.Copy !req
145. I never thought that sleeping
could be so exhausting.Copy !req
146. Nothing but white.Copy !req
147. No radar or sonar returns...
This void is too big.Copy !req
148. It's been 12 hours since
I switched to life-support mode.Copy !req
149. I guess I only have
four or five hours to live.Copy !req
150. I'm hungry...Copy !req
151. You're saying that the shadow
is the Angel's actual body?Copy !req
152. Yes. It's roughly 680 meters in diameter
and three nanometers thick.Copy !req
153. It's supporting that super-thin space
with an inverted A.T. Field.Copy !req
154. The interior is an imaginary numbers space
known as the Dirac sea.Copy !req
155. It may be connected to another universe.Copy !req
156. And the sphere?Copy !req
157. It vanishes when the body's
imaginary numbers circuit closes.Copy !req
158. That object floating up there
is in reality just a shadow.Copy !req
159. So our target is the black shadow
that swallowed Unit 01.Copy !req
160. Then there's nothing we can do about it!Copy !req
161. The water is getting murky!Copy !req
162. The filters are starting to fail!Copy !req
163. It smells...Copy !req
164. Blood! It smells like blood!Copy !req
165. No! Let me out!Copy !req
166. Why won't the hatch unlock?Copy !req
167. Open up! Let me out of here!Copy !req
168. Ms. Misato, what's going on? Ms. Misato!Copy !req
169. Asuka! Ayanami!Copy !req
170. Ms. Ritsuko!Copy !req
171. Father...Copy !req
172. Please... Somebody help me.Copy !req
173. Salvage the Eva with brute force?Copy !req
174. As things stand,
it's the only viable option.Copy !req
175. We drop our remaining stock of
992 N2 mines on its core area.Copy !req
176. Concurrently with this,
our other two Evas use their A.T. FieldsCopy !req
177. to disrupt the Angel's imaginary numbers
circuit for one millisecond.Copy !req
178. At that instant,
we focus the explosive energyCopy !req
179. to destroy the Angel,
along with the Dirac sea that forms it.Copy !req
180. But the Eva's frame can't take...
What will happen to Shinji?Copy !req
181. What kind of rescue op is this?Copy !req
182. The top priority of this operation
is the recovery of Unit 01.Copy !req
183. Regardless of how badly damaged
the body may become.Copy !req
184. Now, wait just a minute!Copy !req
185. In these circumstances,
the pilot is expendable.Copy !req
186. It was your mistake that cost us Shinji.
Don't you dare forget that.Copy !req
187. Why are you and Commander Ikari
so fixated on Unit 01?Copy !req
188. What the hell are the Evas?Copy !req
189. The files we gave you
are everything we have.Copy !req
190. You liar.Copy !req
191. Misato, please trust me.Copy !req
192. I am taking command of
all aspects of this operation.Copy !req
193. Route air traffic to Kansai International.Copy !req
194. Contact the ACC and the JASSDF's
Strategic Airlift Command.Copy !req
195. The Second Impact...
The Instrumentality Project... Adam...Copy !req
196. I'm in the dark about way too many things.Copy !req
197. Who is it?Copy !req
198. Who's there?Copy !req
199. Shinji Ikari.Copy !req
200. But that's me.Copy !req
201. I am you.Copy !req
202. People have another self inside them.Copy !req
203. The self always consists of two selves.Copy !req
204. Two?Copy !req
205. The self that is seen by others,
and the self that observes that act.Copy !req
206. There are even multiples of
the individual named Shinji Ikari:Copy !req
207. The other Shinji Ikari
that's in your own heart.Copy !req
208. The Shinji in Misato Katsuragi's heart.
The Shinji in Asuka Soryu's heart.Copy !req
209. The Shinji in Rei Ayanami's heart.
The Shinji in Gendoh Ikari's heart.Copy !req
210. Each is a different Shinji Ikari,
and yet they're all the real Shinji Ikari.Copy !req
211. You're afraid of the Shinji Ikaris
that are inside others.Copy !req
212. I'm afraid of being hated by others.Copy !req
213. No, you're afraid of being hurt.Copy !req
214. Whose fault is that?Copy !req
215. It's Father's fault.Copy !req
216. The father who abandoned me.Copy !req
217. It's my own fault.Copy !req
218. There you go again,
instantly assuming that you're to blame!Copy !req
219. That's what they call intropunitive!Copy !req
220. I'm the one that can't do anything right!Copy !req
221. You're the one that thinks
that he can't do anything right.Copy !req
222. Don't you have faith in your own father?Copy !req
223. I think I hate him.
But I'm not sure anymore.Copy !req
224. Good work, Shinji.Copy !req
225. Father called me by name!Copy !req
226. My father, of all people,
actually praised me!Copy !req
227. You're going to keep nursing that tiny bit
of happiness for the rest of your life.Copy !req
228. If I believe in those words,
I can go on living.Copy !req
229. By deluding yourself?Copy !req
230. Everybody does it!
Everybody does that to go on living!Copy !req
231. Believe in yourself for who you are.
Otherwise, you won't be able to go on.Copy !req
232. The world is full of too many
painful things for me to live in it.Copy !req
233. Like not being able to swim?Copy !req
234. People aren't designed
to be able to float!Copy !req
235. - That's self-deception.
- Call it whatever you want!Copy !req
236. You've spent your life ignoring
or avoiding anything you don't like.Copy !req
237. In that last battle, his kid sister got...Copy !req
238. It doesn't matter
what everybody else thinks!Copy !req
239. Get out!Copy !req
240. No! I don't want to hear this!Copy !req
241. See? You're running away again.Copy !req
242. People can't handpick a series
of pleasant events to make up their lives.Copy !req
243. Especially not me.Copy !req
244. I found something that I enjoy doing.Copy !req
245. Finding something you like
and doing just that one thing...Copy !req
246. What's wrong with that?Copy !req
247. The entry plug's reserve power
is almost at its theoretical limit.Copy !req
248. His plug suit's life-support system
is also entering the danger zone.Copy !req
249. Let's move up the schedule by 12 minutes.Copy !req
250. While there's still a chance
that Shinji is alive.Copy !req
251. Father... am I an unwanted child?Copy !req
252. Father!Copy !req
253. You're the one who chose to run away.Copy !req
254. That's right! The man's suspected
of killing his wife!Copy !req
255. He killed his own wife!Copy !req
256. No! Mother was... She was smiling.Copy !req
257. You did a fine thing today
that people will praise you for.Copy !req
258. You shouldn't run away, Shinji.Copy !req
259. Keep it up.Copy !req
260. I don't like it here.
I'm tired of being...Copy !req
261. alone.Copy !req
262. The heater and oxygen circulation
have both stopped...Copy !req
263. I'm so cold...Copy !req
264. It's hopeless... My suit's about had it.Copy !req
265. I guess this is it. I'm so tired...Copy !req
266. Tired of everything.Copy !req
267. Mother?Copy !req
268. You'll be okay?Copy !req
269. Oh? I'm glad to hear it.Copy !req
270. - Both Evas are in position.
- A.T. Field preparations complete.Copy !req
271. - Roger.
- T minus 60 to mine drop.Copy !req
272. What's happening to it?Copy !req
273. - Give me a sit-rep!
- Unknown, ma'am!Copy !req
274. All the meters are off the scale!Copy !req
275. But we didn't do anything!Copy !req
276. - Wait, could it be Shinji?
- That's not possible!Copy !req
277. Unit 01's energy is down to zero!Copy !req
278. I'm... piloting one of those things?Copy !req
279. What have we...
What kind of monster did we copy?Copy !req
280. I know damn well that the Evas aren't
simple copies of the 1st Angel.Copy !req
281. But what is Nerv planning to do with
the Evas after the Angels are defeated?Copy !req
282. Shinji!Copy !req
283. Shinji! Are you okay, Shinji?Copy !req
284. I just wanted to see everybody.
One more time.Copy !req
285. Weren't you going to chew him out?Copy !req
286. I've never felt more afraid
of the Evas than I did today.Copy !req
287. Are they really on our side?Copy !req
288. It's possible that they hate us.Copy !req
289. Major Katsuragi might suspect something.Copy !req
290. I see. That's fine for now.Copy !req
291. If Rei and Shinji ever learn
the secret of the Evas,Copy !req
292. they'll probably never forgive us.Copy !req
293. You can stay in bed today.
We'll take care of the rest.Copy !req
294. Thanks, but I'm okay now.Copy !req
295. Oh, I'm glad to hear it.Copy !req
296. It's still there. The smell of blood.Copy !req
