You touch so softly
Copy !req

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
55. The first subject chosen as a result
of Marduk Institute research findings.
Copy !req
56. The First Children.
Copy !req
57. Designated operator of Evangelion
experimental prototype Unit 00.
Copy !req
58. Her past is a blank slate.
All records erased.
Copy !req
59. So, what was the cause of that accident?
Copy !req
60. Still unknown.
Copy !req
61. But one strong hypothesis
is unstable pilot mental state.
Copy !req
62. Mentally unstable? Rei, of all people?
Copy !req
63. Yes.
Copy !req
64. The readings were
unbelievably unstable for her.
Copy !req
65. - What caused it?
- I have no idea.
Copy !req
66. But... Maybe...
Copy !req
67. You have an idea?
Copy !req
68. No. That couldn't be possible.
Copy !req
69. Dismantling of Block D-3 complete.
Copy !req
70. Please submit all data to
Technology Department analysis team.
Copy !req
71. So this is our enemy?
Copy !req
72. Well, well.
Copy !req
73. Except for the core,
it's almost perfectly intact.
Copy !req
74. It's a perfect specimen.
Copy !req
75. - This is useful.
- So, does this mean you learned something?
Copy !req
76. What's that?
Copy !req
77. The error code that indicates
analysis failure.
Copy !req
78. "I have no idea," you mean?
Copy !req
79. Yes.
Copy !req
80. Angels are composed of matter
that displays the properties
Copy !req
81. of both particles and waves,
just like light.
Copy !req
82. But it did have a power source, right?
Copy !req
83. Something resembling one.
Copy !req
84. But we can't begin to fathom
its operating principles.
Copy !req
85. So the realm of the unknown
keeps on expanding.
Copy !req
86. This world is full of mysteries.
Copy !req
87. For example, look at this Angel's
wave pattern fingerprint.
Copy !req
88. What about it?
Copy !req
89. Isn't that...?
Copy !req
90. Yes. Despite the difference
in the component elements,
Copy !req
91. the signal sequencing and locations
are very similar to human DNA.
Copy !req
92. There's a 99.89% match.
Copy !req
93. A match of 99.89%? But that means—
Copy !req
94. It drives home how superficial
our understanding is.
Copy !req
95. Okay! Hold it!
Copy !req
96. This is the core?
Copy !req
97. Where is the rest?
Copy !req
98. It was so badly degraded that it would
be problematic for research.
Copy !req
99. - Fine. Dispose of the rest.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
100. What is it?
Copy !req
101. No, it's nothing...
Copy !req
102. Look. When you say "It's nothing"
with a look like that on your face,
Copy !req
103. you're practically screaming,
"Pay attention to me! Worry about me!"
Copy !req
104. Er... It looked like there were burns
on my father's hands.
Copy !req
105. Burns?
Copy !req
106. I was wondering how he got them.
Copy !req
107. Burns? Do you know anything about that?
Copy !req
108. Before you came, Unit 00 went berserk
during an activation test.
Copy !req
109. - You've heard about that, right?
- Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
110. When it happened,
the pilot was trapped inside.
Copy !req
111. The pilot? You mean Ayanami, right?
Copy !req
112. Commander Ikari got her out.
Copy !req
113. The hatch was burning hot,
but he muscled it open.
Copy !req
114. He did that?
Copy !req
115. The burns on his palms are from then.
Copy !req
116. Go, go, go!
Copy !req
117. - Go for it, Hideko!
- Lose, lose!
Copy !req
118. - Here we go!
- No, you don't!
Copy !req
119. Okay, we'll get the next one!
Copy !req
120. They've all got such great knockers...
Copy !req
121. When Suzuhara looks at me,
I want to take a shower!
Copy !req
122. Yo, big guy!
Copy !req
123. - Who are you staring at?
- Um, nobody.
Copy !req
124. Could it be... Ayanami, maybe?
Copy !req
125. No!
Copy !req
126. Hah, as if!
Talk about suspicious behavior! Right?
Copy !req
127. Ayanami's breasts... Ayanami's thighs...
Copy !req
128. - Ayanami's calves!
- ... calves!
Copy !req
129. I wasn't, okay?
Copy !req
130. What were you looking at, then?
Copy !req
131. You can't pull the wool over my eyes!
Copy !req
132. I was just wondering why
she's always alone.
Copy !req
133. Oh. Now that you mention it,
I don't think she's made any friends
Copy !req
134. since she started here last year.
Copy !req
135. Something about her
makes her hard to approach.
Copy !req
136. Maybe she's just got
a really nasty personality.
Copy !req
137. You're both Eva pilots.
Shouldn't you know her better than us?
Copy !req
138. He's right.
Copy !req
139. I guess we don't talk all that much.
Copy !req
140. Eva-01 now beginning
level three cooling cycle.
Copy !req
141. Cage no. 6, please shut down
all systems up through phase three.

Copy !req
154. T minus 1,050 minutes
until Unit 00 reactivation test.
Copy !req
155. What on earth is this?
Copy !req
156. Curry.
Copy !req
157. It's always instant food with you.
Copy !req
158. Dinner guests don't get
to complain about the food.
Copy !req
159. And you, Ms. Misato?
Copy !req
160. I'll be having this.
Copy !req
161. Ta-dah!
Copy !req
162. Put it in here, and give me plenty!
Copy !req
163. Are you serious?
Copy !req
164. Sure! It tastes great!
Copy !req
165. If you say so.
Copy !req
166. You can't get this kind of flavor
with curry-flavored instant ramen.
Copy !req
167. Let's eat!
Copy !req
168. The trick is to cut back on
how much water you add.
Copy !req
169. Misato made this, didn't she?
Copy !req
170. - Yes, ma'am.
- You can tell?
Copy !req
171. From the taste.
Copy !req
172. How can someone ruin boil-in-the-bag food?
Copy !req
173. The next time you invite me,
could you do it on Shinji's day to cook?
Copy !req
174. Shinji, you should move out.
Copy !req
175. Don't ruin your life by picking up
bad habits from a roommate.
Copy !req
176. I'm already used to it.
Copy !req
177. Hear that, Ritsuko? Never underestimate
the human capacity to adapt!
Copy !req
178. Besides, moving would be— Oops.
Copy !req
179. Shinji? Could you get me another beer?
Copy !req
180. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
181. The paperwork would be a huge pain.
Copy !req
182. I mean, Shinji just got
his official security card.
Copy !req
183. Right, I almost forgot.
Shinji, could you do me a favor?
Copy !req
184. Sure, what?
Copy !req
185. This is Rei Ayanami's renewed card.
Copy !req
186. I keep forgetting to give it to her.
Copy !req
187. I'm sorry,
Copy !req
188. but could you drop it off at her place
before you come to HQ again?
Copy !req
189. Yes, ma'am.
Copy !req
190. What's the matter? You sure seem
captivated by that photo of Rei.
Copy !req
191. No, I—
Copy !req
192. - Hey, don't tell me you...
- I'm not!
Copy !req
193. You're not fooling anyone!
You're all flustered!
Copy !req
194. Now you have an official reason
as an excuse to go to her place.
Copy !req
195. Cut it out, stop teasing me!
Copy !req
196. You get wound up so easily,
it makes you fun to tease!
Copy !req
197. Just like you, Misato.
Copy !req
198. It's just that we're both Eva pilots,
but I hardly know anything about her.
Copy !req
199. She's a really sweet girl, but just
like your father, she's all thumbs.
Copy !req
200. All thumbs? At what?
Copy !req
201. At living.
Copy !req
202. AYANAMI
Copy !req
203. Hello?
Copy !req
204. Is anyone home? It's Ikari.
Copy !req
205. Ayanami? I'm coming in.
Copy !req
206. Are these hers?
Copy !req
207. I...
Copy !req
208. I didn't mean to—
Copy !req
209. Could you move, please?
Copy !req
210. I...
Copy !req
211. What?
Copy !req
212. Er, I... That is...
Copy !req
213. They asked me t-to...
Copy !req
214. To do what? Your card!
Copy !req
215. Your card's been renewed,
Copy !req
216. so I was supposed to drop it off.
Copy !req
217. That's... That's why I...
Copy !req
218. I wasn't trying to...
Copy !req
219. Ms. Ritsuko said that she
forgot to give it to you.
Copy !req
220. Honest! Nobody answered the doorbell,
Copy !req
221. and the door was unlocked, so I...
Copy !req
222. Central Dogma access
is currently available.
Copy !req
223. Category 3 visitors,
please use direct access gate no. 4.
Copy !req
224. GOOD MORNING
Copy !req
225. Here's your new card.
Ms. Ritsuko asked me to give it to you.
Copy !req
226. I'm sorry for earlier.
Copy !req
227. About what?
Copy !req
228. Um, your reactivation test
is today, right?
Copy !req
229. I hope it goes well this time.
Copy !req
230. Say...
Copy !req
231. Aren't you scared of getting
into your Unit 00 again?
Copy !req
232. Why?
Copy !req
233. I heard you were hurt really badly
during a test a while ago.
Copy !req
234. So I was curious if you were worried.
Copy !req
235. You're Commander Ikari's son, right?
Copy !req
236. You don't have faith
in your father's work?
Copy !req
237. Of course not!
Have faith in a father like him?
Copy !req
238. Um...
Copy !req
239. Rei? Are you all right?
Copy !req
240. Rei.
Copy !req
241. When it happened,
the pilot was trapped inside.
Copy !req
242. Commander Ikari got her out.
Copy !req
243. The hatch was burning hot,
but he muscled it open.
Copy !req
244. The burns on his palms are from then.
