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. What had been hypothetical
has become a reality.
Copy !req
16. How ironic. The advocate for
the experiment became the guinea pig.
Copy !req
17. It seems the end result of her contact
was her total mental breakdown...
Copy !req
18. Total mental breakdown...
Is that what comes from making contact?
Copy !req
19. How cruel... She committed suicide,
leaving such a young daughter behind.
Copy !req
20. Actually, that might not have
been the only factor.
Copy !req
21. Asuka, honey?
Mommy made your favorite today.
Copy !req
22. Don't be fussy,
or that girl there will laugh at you.
Copy !req
23. She's like that every day. She talks
to the doll, thinking it's her daughter.
Copy !req
24. Maybe it's her way of expressing
feelings of guilt.
Copy !req
25. She was so wrapped up in her research
that she had little time for our daughter.
Copy !req
26. You have my sympathies, Mr. Langley.
Copy !req
27. Those two look like a matching set
of dolls, mother and daughter.
Copy !req
28. No, maybe there isn't much of a difference
between humans and dolls.
Copy !req
29. Dolls are something that humans
make in their own image.
Copy !req
30. If there really is a God,
maybe we're nothing more than his dolls.
Copy !req
31. You hardly sound like a practitioner
of modern medicine.
Copy !req
32. I'm a doctor,
but I'm first and foremost a human.
Copy !req
33. And a woman.
Copy !req
34. You're being such a brave girl, Asuka.
But you don't have to hold it in.
Copy !req
35. That's okay, I'm not going to cry.
Copy !req
36. I'll think for myself.
Copy !req
37. Asuka, can you hear me?
Your synch rate is down by eight.
Copy !req
38. Keep all extraneous thoughts
from your mind.
Copy !req
39. I'm trying to!
Copy !req
40. Asuka's synch rate has been
dropping steadily lately.
Copy !req
41. This is the last thing we need
on top of everything else.
Copy !req
42. Let's shift our priority toward
repairing Rei's Unit 00.
Copy !req
43. We don't have the resources to repair
both at the same time right now.
Copy !req
44. Mitosis process in Unit 02's left arm
has met target values.
Copy !req
45. Necrosis currently below 0.05%.
Copy !req
46. Apoptosis progress shows green.
Copy !req
47. Unit 00 morphogenesis system
holding at current levels.
Copy !req
48. Please connect all receptors
to Signal Two.
Copy !req
49. The Eva series, born of Adam...
Copy !req
50. We can't defeat the Angels
without using the very thing
Copy !req
51. that caused the Second Impact.
Copy !req
52. If our survival is on the line, we'll use
even the thing that almost destroyed us.
Copy !req
53. That's humanity for you.
Copy !req
54. Maybe I really do hate the Evas.
Copy !req
55. They killed my father...
Copy !req
56. Ms. Katsuragi!
Copy !req
57. Construction has begun on Eva units
up through Unit 13?
Copy !req
58. At seven locations around the world?
Copy !req
59. This intel comes through Shanghai.
The source is reliable.
Copy !req
60. But why the rush for mass production now?
Copy !req
61. Two Evas have been lost, and another two
are currently badly damaged.
Copy !req
62. Maybe it's a push to bolster our reserves
as part of the Phase Two Buildup.
Copy !req
63. I'm not so sure.
Copy !req
64. We've been cannibalizing parts
from Units Five and Six in Germany.
Copy !req
65. There's been a lot of money
moving around lately.
Copy !req
66. Yeah, they've doubled our budget
at this stage of the game.
Copy !req
67. I wonder if that's a sign that
the top brass are feeling desperate.
Copy !req
68. It's obvious that the Council
is nervous about something.
Copy !req
69. Are they expecting a simultaneous attack
by multiple Angels,
Copy !req
70. instead of the individual attacks
we've had so far?
Copy !req
71. Plausible... But that doesn't explain
why they're keeping it under wraps.
Copy !req
72. They're after something else.
Copy !req
73. We're together for the first time in ages,
but you can cut the tension with a knife.
Copy !req
74. Thanks, I'm done.
Copy !req
75. - Asuka.
- No way!
Copy !req
76. It's just Kaji calling you again,
so you should get it.
Copy !req
77. That won't happen.
Copy !req
78. Goodness, I'm ever so sorry
to make Shinji the Mighty
Copy !req
79. stoop to such a menial chore!
Copy !req
80. Hello?
Copy !req
81. What the hell? He always acts so polite.
Copy !req
82. It's an international call from Germany.
For you. It's your mother.
Copy !req
83. It's for me? From Mom?
Copy !req
84. Give me that!
Copy !req
85. When Asuka talks in a different language,
she seems like a different person.
Copy !req
86. Her mother...
Copy !req
87. Wow, that was a long call.
Copy !req
88. It was just your basic family interaction.
Copy !req
89. A family conversation... I'm jealous.
Copy !req
90. It only looks that way.
It's all just superficial stuff.
Copy !req
91. She's not even my real mother.
Copy !req
92. I don't hate her or anything.
I just get a bit uncomfortable around her.
Copy !req
93. Why the hell do I have to talk
to you about this stuff?
Copy !req
94. Sorry.
Copy !req
95. Ha! If I'm getting pity from the likes
of you, I may as well hang it up!
Copy !req
96. Synch graph indicates a drop of 12.8.
Copy !req
97. This is barely enough for activation.
Copy !req
98. These numbers are terrible.
They're even worse than yesterday's.
Copy !req
99. Asuka isn't feeling too hot today.
She's on her period.
Copy !req
100. Synch rates aren't affected by
superficial physiological states.
Copy !req
101. The problem is deeper down.
In her subconscious.
Copy !req
102. I guess we might have no choice
but to change Unit 02's core.
Copy !req
103. Asuka, you can come out now.
Copy !req
104. No.8 power system restoration
will begin at...
Copy !req
105. Asuka's pride is in shambles.
Copy !req
106. It's hardly a surprise,
not after a defeat like that.
Copy !req
107. Actually, the fact that she feels like
she lost to Shinji is even worse.
Copy !req
108. Maybe this won't work anymore.
Us three living together.
Copy !req
109. Have things gone critical?
Your fun times playing house is at an end?
Copy !req
110. I don't have to take that crap from a lady
who drowns her loneliness with cats.
Copy !req
111. I'm sorry. I'm on edge, I guess.
Copy !req
112. Why do I have to go through this
just because I'm a girl?
Copy !req
113. Even though I never want to have kids!
Copy !req
114. Loop Route No.7 is closed
due to an accident.
Copy !req
115. Please use Route 12 as a detour.
Copy !req
116. If you don't open your heart to it,
your Eva won't work.
Copy !req
117. You're saying I'm closing myself off?
I have mental walls?
Copy !req
118. Yes. The Evas have a heart.
Copy !req
119. - Those dolls have a heart?
- Deep down, you know that.
Copy !req
120. Ha! If you started a conversation with me,
Hell must have frozen over!
Copy !req
121. What, does me not being able to pilot
my Eva make you that happy?
Copy !req
122. Don't worry! If an Angel comes,
Shinji the Mighty will defeat it!
Copy !req
123. We don't need to lift a finger!
The only one they need is Shinji!
Copy !req
124. First it was Shinji, and now even
a clockwork doll like you is pitying me!
Copy !req
125. I really must have lost my edge!
Copy !req
126. I'm not a doll.
Copy !req
127. Like hell you're not!
All you do is follow orders!
Copy !req
128. If Commander Ikari told you to die,
you'd do it, wouldn't you?
Copy !req
129. I would.
Copy !req
130. I knew it, you are a doll!
Copy !req
131. I've hated how you act like a puppet
since the day I met you!
Copy !req
132. I hate all of you! Every last one of you!
Copy !req
133. Shinji's out again today.
Copy !req
134. Ayanami being absent
is nothing new, though.
Copy !req
135. But Asuka is also gone.
And Suzuhara can't be discharged yet.
Copy !req
136. I guess they have bigger problems
than school to worry about.
Copy !req
137. Eva-02 signals nominal.
Copy !req
138. VA attachment and fusion status green.
Copy !req
139. Propagation range is as predicted.
Copy !req
140. You're my doll, so just keep quiet
and do exactly as you're told, got it?
Copy !req
141. Why does a weapon need a heart, anyway?
It just gets in the way.
Copy !req
142. Anyway, just obey my commands,
and we won't have a problem!
Copy !req
143. I feel like an idiot.
Copy !req
144. All personnel,
condition one battle stations!
Copy !req
145. Prepare for anti-air intercept!
Copy !req
146. An Angel? Another one is here?
Copy !req
147. Visual confirmation of Angel.
This is at maximum magnification.
Copy !req
148. Weird, it's not moving out of orbit.
Copy !req
149. It's maintaining a fixed distance from us.
Copy !req
150. So is it waiting for the right time
to come down,
Copy !req
151. or can it destroy us from up there?
Copy !req
152. It's hard to tell what to do.
Copy !req
153. Either way, there's nothing we can do
Copy !req
154. unless the target
comes into our attack range.
Copy !req
155. The Evas can't intercept
a target in orbit.
Copy !req
156. Rei's status?
Copy !req
157. She and Unit 00 are both fine. Good to go.
Copy !req
158. Roger that. Unit 00, launch!
Prepare for super long-range sniping!
Copy !req
159. Unit 02 and Asuka, prepare for launch
as backup in support role!
Copy !req
160. Me? Backup? Support Unit 00?
Copy !req
161. That's right. Provide cover from the rear.
Copy !req
162. Like hell I will...
Copy !req
163. Eva-02, launching!
Copy !req
164. Asuka!
Copy !req
165. It's okay. Let's let her take point.
Copy !req
166. Major Katsuragi!
Copy !req
167. In other words, if she fails, she's out.
Copy !req
168. So, one last chance?
Copy !req
169. Let's start thinking about
a replacement for Unit 02's pilot.
Copy !req
170. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
171. Um, we're not deploying Unit 01?
Copy !req
172. It's been grounded.
Strict orders from Commander Ikari.
Copy !req
173. It's no surprise, after what happened...
Copy !req
174. NERV INSPECTION DIVISION
Copy !req
175. If you blow this,
they'll probably take you off Unit 02.
Copy !req
176. No screw-ups this time, Asuka.
Copy !req
177. Target still outside
effective firing range.
Copy !req
178. Get your butt down here, damn it!
This is so annoying!
Copy !req
179. ALERT
Copy !req
180. A directed energy weapon?
Copy !req
181. No thermal energy readings!
Copy !req
182. Psychograph is going haywire!
Psychological contamination beginning!
Copy !req
183. An Angel psychological attack?
Impossible, it can read a human mind?
Copy !req
184. You god damn bastard!
Copy !req
185. Positron projectile dissipated!
Copy !req
186. It's no use, it's out of range!
Copy !req
187. Unit 02 has expended all rounds!
Copy !req
188. I need an analysis of that ray!
Copy !req
189. It's an energy wave
in the visible spectrum.
Copy !req
190. It's similar to an A.T. Field,
but details are unclear.
Copy !req
191. - Asuka's status?
- In danger!
Copy !req
192. Psychological contamination
now in Y region!
Copy !req
193. No!
Copy !req
194. Stay out... Stay out of my head!
Copy !req
195. It hurts!
Copy !req
196. It hurts!
Copy !req
197. It hurts!
Copy !req
198. It hurts!
Copy !req
199. No!
Copy !req
200. No!
Copy !req
201. No!
Copy !req
202. Don't look into my mind!
Copy !req
203. I'm begging you! Stop violating my mind!
Copy !req
204. - Asuka!
- Psychograph critical!
Copy !req
205. Her neural pathways
are being torn to pieces.
Copy !req
206. It's too risky to put more stress on them.
Copy !req
207. Asuka, fall back!
Copy !req
208. Never!
Copy !req
209. That's an order, Asuka! Withdraw!
Copy !req
210. No! Absolutely not!
Copy !req
211. I'd rather die than retreat now!
Copy !req
212. Asuka!
Copy !req
213. Accelerator synchronization start.
Copy !req
214. Voltage climbing. Approaching threshold.
Copy !req
215. Forced convergence device, activate.
Copy !req
216. Correction for Earth's rotation
and gravity, 0.03.
Copy !req
217. Chamber interior pressure at maximum.
Copy !req
218. Final safeties disengaged!
Copy !req
219. All systems ready to fire!
Copy !req
220. No-go! At this range,
there's just not enough energy
Copy !req
221. to punch through its A.T. Field!
Copy !req
222. But the power output's already at maximum!
We can't go any higher!
Copy !req
223. Unit 02's psychograph barely registering!
Copy !req
224. The LCL's psychological firewall?
Copy !req
225. Ineffective!
Catalyst also having no effect!
Copy !req
226. Life support has top priority.
Prevent flow reversal from the Eva.
Copy !req
227. Yes, ma'am!
Copy !req
228. It's as if that ray is scanning for
Asuka's mental wavelength...
Copy !req
229. I don't believe it. Is this Angel trying
to understand the human mind?
Copy !req
230. Why am I crying? I promised myself
I wouldn't cry anymore.
Copy !req
231. What's the matter, Asuka?
Copy !req
232. That was a present from your new mommy.
Copy !req
233. Didn't you like it?
Copy !req
234. I don't want it.
Copy !req
235. Then what do you want?
Copy !req
236. I'm not a baby!
Copy !req
237. I'm going to grow up fast!
I don't need dumb stuffed animals!
Copy !req
238. So, please, look at me!
Copy !req
239. Mommy! Please, don't stop being my mommy!
Copy !req
240. Come die with me...
Copy !req
241. Mommy! Please, Mommy! Don't kill me!
Copy !req
242. No! I'm not your doll, Mommy!
Copy !req
243. I'll think for myself and live by myself!
Copy !req
244. I don't need a mommy or a daddy!
I can live by myself!
Copy !req
245. No! Stop making me remember all that!
Copy !req
246. I finally forgot it,
so don't dig it up again!
Copy !req
247. I don't need those
horrible things anymore!
Copy !req
248. Please, stop it! Stop!
Copy !req
249. My mind... It's been defiled.
Copy !req
250. Mr. Kaji, I've been defiled...
Copy !req
251. What should I do? I'm dirty now...
Copy !req
252. Unit 02 has ceased operation!
Copy !req
253. Life support showing abnormalities!
Copy !req
254. Pilot is entering danger zone!
Copy !req
255. No change in target status.
Relative distance still unchanged.
Copy !req
256. Chances of target moving into
Unit 00's firing range, 0.02%.
Copy !req
257. Do we airlift Unit 00
and fire at it from the sky?
Copy !req
258. No, that won't work.
Copy !req
259. If it fires during our approach,
it's all over.
Copy !req
260. I'll go in Unit 01!
Copy !req
261. Absolutely not! This type of Angel
corrupts the pilot's psyche!
Copy !req
262. We must avoid any situation
where Unit 01 might be compromised.
Copy !req
263. I just need to make sure
I don't get hit, right?
Copy !req
264. That may not be enough.
Copy !req
265. But if we don't do something,
Asuka's gonna—
Copy !req
266. So be it. Rei, go down into
the Dogma and use the Spear.
Copy !req
267. The Spear of Longinus? Ikari, that will—
Copy !req
268. It's the only way to defeat an Angel in
orbit, where our A.T. Fields can't reach.
Copy !req
269. Do it!
Copy !req
270. But what about the risk of contact between
Adam and an Eva causing the Third Impact?
Copy !req
271. It's far too dangerous!
Commander Ikari, don't do this!
Copy !req
272. So, it's a lie. A deception.
Copy !req
273. The Second Impact wasn't caused
by contact with an Angel.
Copy !req
274. Opening Central Dogma
levels 10 through 15.
Copy !req
275. Unit 00 now passing Malebolge No.6.
Copy !req
276. Now opening levels 16 through 20.
Copy !req
277. So this won't cause the Third Impact?
Copy !req
278. Then what was the cause
of the Second Impact?
Copy !req
279. Ikari, isn't it too early for this?
Copy !req
280. The Council has begun
mass production of the Eva series.
Copy !req
281. This is our chance, Fuyutsuki.
Copy !req
282. Even so...
Copy !req
283. We can't turn back the hands of the clock.
Copy !req
284. But we can force them forward.
Copy !req
285. The old men won't stand for this.
Copy !req
286. We have to complete everything
before Seele can act.
Copy !req
287. It would be unwise
to lose Unit 02. Not yet.
Copy !req
288. Using the Spear of Longinus without
Seele's permission will cause trouble.
Copy !req
289. It's enough that a reason to exists.
Anything beyond that is trivial.
Copy !req
290. A reason? What you want is a pretext.
Copy !req
291. Unit 02's pilot's brainwaves down to 0.06!
Copy !req
292. Life support now at critical!
Copy !req
293. Unit 00 now passing level two.
Exiting to the surface.
Copy !req
294. That's the Spear of Longinus?
Copy !req
295. Unit 00 in throwing position!
Copy !req
296. Target acquired! Corrections complete!
Copy !req
297. Beginning countdown! T minus 10!
Copy !req
298. Eight!
Copy !req
299. Seven!
Copy !req
300. Six!
Copy !req
301. Five!
Copy !req
302. Four!
Copy !req
303. Three!
Copy !req
304. Two! One! Zero!
Copy !req
305. Target obliterated!
Copy !req
306. - Eva-02 has been released!
- What about the Spear of Longinus?
Copy !req
307. It's exceeded first cosmic velocity.
It's currently heading for lunar orbit.
Copy !req
308. Retrieval is next to impossible, then...
Copy !req
309. Yes, sir. We currently have no means of
retrieving a mass of that magnitude.
Copy !req
310. Unit 02 operational.
Graphs are back to normal values.
Copy !req
311. Recover Unit 02 to Cage No.2.
Copy !req
312. Use Route 67.
Copy !req
313. How's Asuka?
Copy !req
314. Pilot's vitals confirmed.
Copy !req
315. Quarantine measures due to
contamination have been lifted.
Copy !req
316. I see.
Copy !req
317. I'm glad you're okay, Asuka.
Copy !req
318. Screw you! I'm not even close to okay!
Copy !req
319. Why did I have to be saved
by her of all people?
Copy !req
320. Someone like her saved me!
Copy !req
321. If it meant being saved by her,
I wish I had died instead!
Copy !req
322. I hate you! I hate you! I hate all of you!
Copy !req
323. I hate you all!
Copy !req
324. TO BE CONTINUED
Copy !req
325. Latched onto by an Angel,
Unit 00 is violated.
Copy !req
326. To save Shinji from the same corruption,
Rei wishes for her own death.
Copy !req
327. Transforming into light and heat
along with Tokyo-3, she vanishes.
Copy !req
328. Next episode! "Tears"!
