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. Um... Where's Asuka?Copy !req
16. She's already left. I guess she's
bound and determined to avoid me.Copy !req
17. Why would she do that?Copy !req
18. I guess you still don't understand
how girls think.Copy !req
19. - By the way—
- Are the—Copy !req
20. You first.Copy !req
21. Are the rumors true?
About Unit 04 being de-listed?Copy !req
22. Something about an accident? It blew up?Copy !req
23. Yes, the rumors are true.Copy !req
24. Unit 04 was obliterated,
along with Nerv's Second Branch.Copy !req
25. It happened during an S2 Drive test.Copy !req
26. But don't you worry about us! All three
units are working just fine, right?Copy !req
27. Our pilots and our staff
are the best of the best.Copy !req
28. But they say Unit 03
is coming from America.Copy !req
29. The activation test will be held
at Matsushiro, right?Copy !req
30. Yes. I'll be out of town
for four days or so,Copy !req
31. but Kaji will look after you,
so you'll be fine.Copy !req
32. But is the test—Copy !req
33. Ritsuko will be there to supervise it.
Everything will be fine.Copy !req
34. What about the pilot?Copy !req
35. Listen, about the pilot situation...Copy !req
36. Come in!Copy !req
37. Good morning!Copy !req
38. I am here today to ask you a favor,
Major Katsuragi.Copy !req
39. Please, ma'am! Please make me
the pilot of Evangelion Unit 03!Copy !req
40. Huh?Copy !req
41. So Shinji still doesn't know, then?Copy !req
42. I just can't seem to find
the right time to bring it up.Copy !req
43. I'm scared. There are times when I can't
figure out what he's thinking.Copy !req
44. Well, figure it out. You're the one
who asked to be his guardian.Copy !req
45. I know, don't remind me.Copy !req
46. So, when will you call in the pilot?Copy !req
47. I'm not sure. Tomorrow, probably.
There's still a lot of prep work to do.Copy !req
48. Maybe he'll tell Shinji himself.Copy !req
49. I doubt it.Copy !req
50. He didn't seem happy enough
to brag about it.Copy !req
51. He agreed on the condition that
his little sister was to be transferredCopy !req
52. to HQ's medical department.Copy !req
53. Damn, Ms. Misato can be heartless.Copy !req
54. If they need enthusiasm, I'm their man.Copy !req
55. I wish they would use me,
if only as a standby pilot.Copy !req
56. Right, Tohji?Copy !req
57. Hm? Sure.Copy !req
58. What happened? You left before me,
so what took you so long to get here?Copy !req
59. What, no lover's quarrel today?Copy !req
60. I didn't want to see your stupid face!
You or the rest of the Idiot Trio!Copy !req
61. Okay, time to eat...Copy !req
62. Huh? Where's Tohji?Copy !req
63. He's not here.Copy !req
64. Without eating lunch?
This is Tohji we're talking about.Copy !req
65. He'd never do that.Copy !req
66. Yeah. He's been acting weird lately.Copy !req
67. Suzuhara?Copy !req
68. Oh, hey, Ayanami. If you're looking
for Shinji, he's not here.Copy !req
69. You know about me, then.
It looked like Soryu knows, too.Copy !req
70. So Shinji's the only one who doesn't know.Copy !req
71. It's pretty unusual for you
to worry about others.Copy !req
72. Is it? I don't really know
what I'm feeling.Copy !req
73. It's Shinji you're worried about.Copy !req
74. Really?Copy !req
75. Maybe you're right.Copy !req
76. I am.Copy !req
77. Hikari! Let's eat!Copy !req
78. Two damn hours late...
He finally graces us with his presence.Copy !req
79. No man has ever kept me
waiting for this long.Copy !req
80. You would always leave without waiting
when you were out on a date.Copy !req
81. And so, this is what we now refer to
as the Second Impact.Copy !req
82. Back then, I was living in Nebukawa,Copy !req
83. but due to rising sea levels resulting
from the melting of Antarctica,Copy !req
84. it is now at the bottom of the ocean.Copy !req
85. Sorry, newbie. But I have to punch you.Copy !req
86. I couldn't live with myself otherwise.Copy !req
87. I'm sorry, Asuka.
I know you usually walk home with Ikari.Copy !req
88. Don't worry about it. That's just because
I'm stuck working with Shinji.Copy !req
89. I'm not in the mood to look
at his stupid face today.Copy !req
90. You're thinking about Suzuhara.Copy !req
91. Yes... You can tell?Copy !req
92. It's written all over your face.
Only the Idiot Trio are clueless.Copy !req
93. I don't know,
Shinji seems pretty perceptive.Copy !req
94. He's the densest of the bunch!Copy !req
95. He's an idiot, to boot! He doesn't
know how to act around people.Copy !req
96. Really?Copy !req
97. I think Suzuhara likes someone,
but it might be Ms. Ayanami.Copy !req
98. Suzuhara? He's into Miss Perfect?Copy !req
99. They seemed awfully chummy at lunch today.Copy !req
100. Trust me, Hikari.
That's flat-out impossible.Copy !req
101. When it comes to social interaction,
she's a million times denser than Shinji!Copy !req
102. - Really?
- Yeah!Copy !req
103. - Can I ask you something?
- What?Copy !req
104. What do you see in that hotheaded moron?Copy !req
105. He's really sweet.Copy !req
106. Getting back together with you
was the worst mistake of my life!Copy !req
107. This again?Copy !req
108. Hey, you know—Copy !req
109. Mr. Kaji's sure taking
a long time in the tub.Copy !req
110. I wonder who's going to pilot Unit 03...Copy !req
111. - Huh? No one's told you?
- Who is it?Copy !req
112. I don't know.Copy !req
113. Now, that was a nice bath.Copy !req
114. What, are you two going at it again?
For crying out loud.Copy !req
115. Is it always like this
when Katsuragi's away?Copy !req
116. It's not that! You're spending
the night here tonight!Copy !req
117. So I want to be all cheerful
and bubbly for you!Copy !req
118. But not today... I can't do it!Copy !req
119. I understand. Let's call it a night.Copy !req
120. At times like this, going to bed
early is the smartest move.Copy !req
121. Are you asleep, Mr. Kaji?Copy !req
122. No, not yet.Copy !req
123. What kind of man is my father?Copy !req
124. That sure wasn't what I was expecting.Copy !req
125. I thought you were going to ask
about Katsuragi.Copy !req
126. It just seems like you're always with him.Copy !req
127. It's the Deputy Commander
who never leaves his side.Copy !req
128. Is this your thing,
asking everyone about your father?Copy !req
129. There was a long stretch
where I never saw him.Copy !req
130. Oh, you really don't know him.Copy !req
131. But I've learned a fair amount lately.
About my father.Copy !req
132. About his job.
About my mother. So I thought—Copy !req
133. No, that's where you're wrong.
You only think you learned something.Copy !req
134. Nobody can ever completely
understand another person.Copy !req
135. Good luck even understanding yourself.Copy !req
136. Complete understanding
between two people is impossible.Copy !req
137. That's why people try so hard to
understand themselves and others.Copy !req
138. It's one of the things
that makes life interesting.Copy !req
139. Does that go for you and Misato, too?Copy !req
140. The characters for the word "girlfriend"
literally mean "distant woman."Copy !req
141. Women are creatures on an alien shore,
as far as we men are concerned.Copy !req
142. A river wider and deeper than any
ocean separates men and women.Copy !req
143. I don't understand adults at all.Copy !req
144. T minus 300 minutes
to Unit 03 activation test.Copy !req
145. Primary power shows green.
Secondary apoptosis nominal.Copy !req

150. At this rate, it will be
combat-ready in no time.Copy !req
151. Oh. That's nice.Copy !req
152. You don't sound so enthusiastic.Copy !req
153. When this unit is delivered, it will be
placed under your direct command.Copy !req
154. Personal control of four Evas, huh?Copy !req
155. Gee, I could probably destroy
the world if I felt like it.Copy !req
156. - So, have you talked to Shinji?
- I'll tell him after the tests are over.Copy !req
157. The Fourth Children has arrived.
Team 2, expedite prep for plug entry.Copy !req
158. He still isn't here, Asuka.Copy !req
159. Yeah, he might not come to school today.Copy !req
160. I thought today would
finally be the day...Copy !req
161. Want this?Copy !req
162. Unit 03's in Japan already, right?Copy !req
163. Yeah. I think it came yesterday.Copy !req
164. I'm jealous...Copy !req
165. I wonder who's gonna be the pilot?Copy !req
166. Tohji, maybe? I mean, he's not here today.Copy !req
167. Come on, no way!Copy !req
168. Entry plug locked in position.Copy !req

194. - What happened to Misato and the rest?
- They still can't reach them.Copy !req
195. Oh, no... What should we do?Copy !req
196. Oh, quit your whining!Copy !req
197. Worrying isn't going to do
anybody any good right now!Copy !req
198. But we have to take on
an Angel on our own!Copy !req
199. Commander Ikari is personally
assuming command.Copy !req
200. Father is taking charge?Copy !req
201. Target sighted as Nobeyama Heights.

205. Pilot's vitals?Copy !req

but the pilot is probably...Copy !req
207. Evangelion Unit 03 is hereby
declared a total loss.Copy !req
208. Target is now designated
as the 13th Angel.Copy !req
209. But—Copy !req
210. Set up a defense line at Nobeyama
as planned. Destroy the target.Copy !req
211. Target approaching.Copy !req
212. All units, prepare for ground engagement!Copy !req
213. No way!Copy !req
214. That's an Angel? Is it really an Angel?Copy !req
215. That's right. It's your target.Copy !req
216. Our target? But that's... That's an Eva!Copy !req
217. I don't believe it...
It got taken over by an Angel?Copy !req
218. So is there somebody in there?
A kid? A kid our age?Copy !req
219. You still don't know?
Unit 03's pilot is—Copy !req
220. Asuka?Copy !req
221. Asuka!Copy !req
222. Eva-02, unresponsive and inactive!Copy !req
223. Pilot has ejected! Recovery team en route!Copy !req
224. Target moving towards Unit 00!Copy !req
225. Rei, keep the target occupied
while avoiding close-quarters combat.Copy !req
226. - I'll send Unit 01 your way.
- Roger.Copy !req
227. He's inside there...Copy !req
228. Unit 00's left arm being
infiltrated by Angel!Copy !req
229. The nerve ganglia are being taken over!Copy !req
230. Amputate the left arm. Hurry!Copy !req
231. But if we don't cut
the neural link first—Copy !req
232. - Amputate it!
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
233. Unit 00, moderate damage. Pilot injured.Copy !req
234. Oh, no...Copy !req
235. The target is approaching.
It will reach you in 20.Copy !req
236. You will destroy it.Copy !req
237. You keep calling it a target...Copy !req
238. But there's somebody inside there...Copy !req

240. Its entry plug...
I knew it, somebody's in there!Copy !req
241. Life support is failing!Copy !req

246. Shinji, why aren't you fighting back?Copy !req
247. There's... There's somebody
in there, Father!Copy !req
248. Irrelevant! That thing is an Angel!
Our enemy!Copy !req
249. But I... I can't!Copy !req
250. We have to save him!
I can't murder somebody!Copy !req
251. You'll die if you don't.Copy !req

I'd rather die than kill someone!Copy !req
253. So be it.Copy !req
254. Sever the synchronization
between the pilot and Unit 01.Copy !req
255. Sever it, sir?Copy !req
256. Yes. Switch control over
to the Dummy Plug.Copy !req
257. But, sir, the Dummy System
is still plagued with issues,Copy !req
258. and without Dr. Akagi's supervision, it—Copy !req
259. It will still be more useful
than this pilot. Do it!Copy !req
260. Yes, sir.Copy !req
261. What's that?Copy !req
262. What did you do, Father?Copy !req
263. Signal reception confirmed!Copy !req
