Original subtitles

"So far in the new Evangelion films."

"EVANGELION:1.11 YOU ARE (NOT) ALONE."

Mankind's ultimate multipurpose humanoid decisive weapon.

Artificial human Evangelion.

Shinji Ikari. You're the pilot.

- Launch the Eva. - There is no way I could!

Stop wasting time. Get in the Eva or get out.

Don't run away. Don't run away.

DON'T RUN AWAY.

I'll be the pilot.

Our Eva can beat an Angel.

Our future depends on defeating the Angels.

15 years ago, half of humanity died in the Second Impact.

If the Angels set off a Third Impact, humanity will die out.

Why am I even here?

Don't you have faith in him? In the work he does?

Piloting the Eva is all I have, right?

It's the only reason Father sent for me. That's why I have to be the pilot.

You need to decide if you want to be an Eva pilot.

I'll do it... I'll pilot my Eva.

You won't die. I will protect you.

He didn't run from piloting the Eva.

He should be left in charge unless he wants out!

I'm counting on you.

Farewell.

No, it's just that I don't have anything else.

Ayanami!

I don't know how I should act at times like this.

Smiling would be a start.

Children with predestined fates.

"EVANGELION:2.22 YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE."

Asuka Langley-Shikinami, Eva Unit 02's pilot.

What kind of idiot are you?

Wow, I guess some people like being an Eva pilot.

Dealing with your father makes you uneasy?

He praised me for the first time.

- Good work, Shinji. - It made me feel so happy.

This Human Instrumentality Project... What's NERV really up to?

Protect Katsuragi for me.

I feel warm and fuzzy when I'm with Shinji.

You're in love, that's what that means!

You're pretty interesting.

You can be happy without one.

Father, Asuka's inside that Eva!

- That is an Angel! Our enemy! - No!

- It's all Father's fault! - Running away again?

What's wrong with running away from pain?!

I never want to pilot an Eva again.

Fretting over stuff like that makes life less fun.

Just to make sure Shinji won't have to pilot an Eva anymore!

I'm here because I'm Shinji Ikari! Pilot of Evangelion Unit 01!

Give me back Ayanami!

Go on, Shinji! Do it to make your wish come true!

Even if I'm gone, there are replacements for me.

Ayanami! Come here!

I'm sorry. In the end, I couldn't do anything.

That's okay. It's okay...

It's the continuation of the Second Impact.

The Third Impact is beginning!

- The time has come. - The world is ending.

"EVANGELION:3.33 YOU CAN (NOT) REDO."

Shinji Ikari. Don't do anything.

Shouldn't I be piloting Unit 01?!

This is crazy, Misato!

How am I supposed to take this in all of a sudden?

Because 14 years have passed since then...

We're WILLE, an organization dedicated to the destruction of NERV!

I'm Kaworu. Kaworu Nagisa.

I'm another child like you burdened by fate.

Evangelion Unit 13.

When the time comes, you are to pilot the Eva with him.

Don't pilot no more Evas!

Rei Ayanami doesn't exist anymore, Shinji.

You're lying!

Once awakened, Eva Unit 01 opened the Doors of Guf

and acted as the trigger to bring about the Third Impact.

You were the key to it all.

- You're the one I saved, right?! - I don't know.

Let's begin, Fuyutsuki.

Brat Shinji, do you want to start another Third Impact?!

I'll take those spears for you... for everyone...

and then the world will go back to normal!

And then even Misato will have to...

- Misato! Activate the DSS choker! - Don't do this, Shinji.

- Stop it, you stupid brat! - What the hell is this?

The Fourth Impact. This is its opening rite.

Is it my fault...?

Because I pulled out the spears?

- This was in my orders. - Don't look so sad.

We'll meet again, Shinji.

Kaworu! Nothing good ever happens!

You are such a naive brat...

There are no sins that can't be atoned for.

There is hope. There is always hope.

While living in this world Is like a long trek on a hill

What's important is not about How long you live

As long as you didn't Stray off the path of truth

Paris Assault Fleet, fully operational. Descending at Point 0 of former city.

All ships, assume defensive posture. Dead slow astern.

Gravity control, autonomous movement, remote control, all nominal.

Skies over Paris, all clear 360. Surface in Category 6 core-ized state.

Verifying vessel coordinates have arrived

at operation initiation point.

Roger. All ships assume on-alert mode deployment.

All ships, change formation to screening positions.

Eva Unit 08 and DSRV, descending towards target.

Landing struts anchoring, nominal.

DSRV locked in position.

The DSRV has landed.

Analyzing atmospheric composition. Oxygen density -3.

CO2 within tolerances. Occupation possible.

Roger. Start operation.

Love, you and me together

Dream, you and me together

It's been 16 years.

To see the renowned City of Flowers in this state...

it pains my heart.

The L field density is quite high.

The restoration work

on Euro NERV Containment Pillar No.1 shall not be more than 720 sec.

What? That's 180 seconds shorter than planned.

What about the time needed for getting back?

Well, I just wish only pilots had to wear these outrageous outfits.

Shut your mouth and get to work.

So, can we get the Anti-L System activated?

A redo from Stage 4 should work. All thanks to our predecessors.

"I'll leave this to you."

We will uphold your wishes to preserve this city.

Right, let's get to work.

They're coming!

Eva 44A, customized aerial type! Incoming from 4 o'clock!

Amazing line-ahead-formation.

They've formed a colony on their own. It's like a new creature now.

Mari, please intercept them. Give us another 560 seconds.

You betcha!

I'll do the honors of handling all those 44As!

All right, Nagara my gal. I'll leave you to handle my wire action!

Let's see now...

Yaw, roll and pitch...

This setup is interesting but feels a bit awkward...

Wished they'd at least kept humanoid points of articulation.

Unit 08, currently engaging 1st wave of 44As.

2nd wave detected. As planned, all 44As are being drawn to Unit 08.

Operation time available, 420 seconds.

Chief, this is slow going. It's like working on an 8-bit PC.

It's an enigmatic system like the Evas.

Control via human language isn't easy.

Stage 4 has been completed. We're lagging behind quite a bit.

- Keep calm and hurry it up. - Yes, ma'am!

Maintain speed. Plus 20 on guide rig. Keep current pitch.

Steady as she goes.

You're not getting away!

Oops.

The 4th wave, huh.

One against many.

Many a small bird drive away a hawk, eh?

Time remaining, 360 seconds.

I can't find a way to skip ahead to Stage 5.

Anything can be done. Keep digging.

It's impossible. There's not enough time to overwrite the data!

Nothing is impossible! Add more bypasses!

But Chief, there's just not enough time!

Stop whining!

This is the problem with young men.

Scurry off, ya bums! Get outta here!

Now that was a piece of cake.

Well, well... Mock angels using decoys? Cocky jerks.

Heads up! The Boss Enemy is here!

A military application of Evas, prohibited by the Vatican Treaty.

What a combo to be up against.

A positron cannon armed 4444C land battle variant and power supply customized 44Bs.

Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki must be testing us.

High energy readings from the 44Bs are increasing!

All ships, ready defensive measures.

All hands, brace for impact and EM blast.

4444C is now in firing position.

44Bs generating massive power surge.

Energy routed to ultra-high voltage system!

All power supply systems of 4444C, now active.

Positron acceleration, now in its final phase!

Breech now closed and locked!

Firing imminent!

Just made it in the nick of time!

If it shoots again, holy moly!

High energy readings from the 44Bs once more.

It's storing energy into the high-power emission system.

Already?! 4444C, acceleration initiated. Assuming firing position!

We're really screwed!

Second shot imminent!

This is really, really bad!

Nagara, gal, give me a diversion!

Roger.

That won't stop me!

Excusez-moi, Eiffel!

The 4444C is now completely silent.

Operational time left, 30 seconds!

- Algorithm analysis, switching to C. - Final lock disabled.

Anti-L System, Stage 5 is now complete!

It's activating, XO!

Restoring the old city area of Paris.

All Euro NERV facility systems rebooting. Coming back online.

Good work, Maya. That was really close.

Assault successful. Misato, please come collect the luggage.

Roger. Now descending to the resupply point.

All hands, ready resupply. Priority One on Eva spare parts and munitions.

Lower all logistics support ships. Aircraft carriers go first. Hurry!

Gather together all the parts needed to build a new Unit 02!

The end crowns the work.

Now a cannibalized Unit 02 can be built anew

and Unit 08 can be modified to be overlapping-compliant.

No matter where you are, I'll come get you.

You just wait, Puppy Boy.

EVANGELION:3.0+1.01 THRICE UPON A TIME

Tsk! Spineless loser.

Sorry, I'm late.

Are you okay, Ikari?

Hey! The dog's not allowed in there!

Hey there. You're awake.

Don't you recognize me? It's me, Tohji Suzuhara.

Long time no see, Shinji.

I was blown away when they brought you in here.

I kinda heard what happened to you, but it was too confusing for me.

Anyway, great to see you're okay.

Can you get up?

Let's go to my house. You must be hungry.

It's a bit chilly out there.

Doctor, the girl said she doesn't want to change her clothes.

It's okay, I guess.

We're running out of Tamiflu.

Okay. I'll talk to the rations manager.

Sorry, I'm off for the day.

Come on, let's go.

This place is strange.

So many people are here.

You've never seen a crowd?

This is Village 3, one of the places where survivors gathered and settled.

About 1000 people live here.

That's the food distribution center. They hand it out three times a week.

Hello, Doctor.

Hi, Mrs. Matsukata. It's almost time, make sure you rest.

Are they the two kids that Kredit asked you to take care of?

Yeah, something like that. Please be nice to them.

Goodbye.

What's "Kredit"?

It's a support organization created by WILLE.

Aside from granting us supplies, it also aids trading among villages.

Our village can't survive on its own.

What's that? It's shaped differently than a dog.

That's a cat.

"Cat"?

You've never seen one?

There are 10 of them living under this train car.

There's cats and dogs here. It's fun.

"Suzuhara Ring the buzzer in case of emergency"

This is my old but happy home.

A huge house all for ourselves.

We're home! We'll get you some food now.

There you go. Eat while it's hot.

Shinji, you must be hungry. You should eat.

It's okay. Join us whenever you feel like eating.

Let's eat!

Yummy, isn't it?

It feels strange in my mouth. Warm and soft.

That's "yummy."

My daughter knows how to prepare food so it's just right.

She's the best wife in the world. You'll be surprised when you see her.

We're home. Sorry we're late.

Hi, I was waiting for you.

She's my wife. Do you recognize her, Shinji?

The Class-Rep.

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard. It still feels like a dream to see you.

It's been so long, Shinji. Ayanami too.

No. I'm not Ayanami.

What? You're not? Then...

Ms. Look-alike!

What's this?

Our daughter Tsubame. Cute, isn't she?

It's a human, but small. Why did you shrink her?

You've never seen a baby either?

She was even smaller when she was born.

Babies grow up real fast.

This is... "cute"?

You betcha! Isn't she the cutest? She's my daughter, after all!

I'm sorry. Did you get scared because we spoke in a loud voice?

Sorry, Tsubame, did I make you cry?

The Boss is here!

Sorry I'm late.

It's like a miracle.

What are you doing?

Babies grow up by drinking their mom's milk.

It's too early for you, Ms. Look-alike.

I don't know. What would Rei Ayanami do?

You're not Rei Ayanami, right?

So you should do what you want.

I can be different?

Hey, Ikari. It's been a while. It's me, Aida. Kensuke Aida.

It was Kensuke who saved your butt!

I can't count all the times this survivalist geek came to our rescue.

If it wasn't for him, we'd be dead a long time ago.

Shinji. It's okay if you don't wanna talk, but eat the food you're given!

It's my fault, Mr. Horaki. I just dragged him here.

Let's leave him be for today.

But, Tohji!

Food like this is a real luxury here. It's beyond rude not to eat it!

I'm talking to you, Shinji!

Dad, you'll wake up Tsubame.

Let's clear the table and set up the beds.

For Ikari and Ms. Look-alike too, Tohji.

No, Ikari's coming with me. I think it'll be better.

I'm sure you were surprised that those two got married.

They were always fighting in school.

The hardship they shared after the Near Third Impact made them an item.

See, Ikari... not just bad things came out of the N3I.

We're almost there. It's up this slope.

We've arrived.

There was a station here, now it's a lodge. Use it as you like.

Bathroom's at the back of that car. I'll get some fuel, you go inside.

I'm naked. Why aren't you getting all hot and flustered?

Jeez! I can't believe you picked up this jerk, Ken-Ken.

I'm home.

She's my other guest. She'll stay for a while.

For various reasons, Shikinami can't show up at the village.

It's just a pain. Too many Lilin hanging around.

You only respond to the DSS choker.

Ken-Ken, you're being too easy on him. Let him clean up his own mess.

He's not eating, and can't do anything by himself.

Something really traumatic must've happened.

He's always been like that.

He shuts himself off and cares for nobody. It's his usual practice.

Just let him be. He doesn't want to live, but he can't die either.

Ikari. It's okay for now.

It was fate that made us meet again. You can count on me.

We're friends, right?

I'm happy you're alive, Ikari.

Hey, Rations Manager... Don't get worked up over all this.

Thanks for your hard work.

Good night, dear.

What's "good night"?

It's what you say to make everybody sleep at ease.

Good night, Ms. Look-alike.

I'm tired of pretending to sleep.

Will I ever be able to sleep again?

Good morning.

What's "good morning"?

It's what you say when wishing each other a good day.

Good morning, Ms. Look-alike.

Ken-Ken wakes up at 6 every day. He's already gone to work.

There's your breakfast. Just eat already.

Well, those are some tight-fitting clothes you're wearing there.

This is Ms. Look-alike. Doc's wife sent her here to work with us.

Ms. Look-alike? Sounds like she's got baggage.

Is it okay to let her join us?

If she's willing to work, sure.

Work? If it's an order, I'll comply.

It's not an order. It's work.

What's "work"?

Good question.

Never thought about it.

Well, shedding sweat together, I guess.

Shedding sweat.

Use 3 fingers, lightly.

Good. Push it down straight and deep.

Don't squeeze it. Hold it gently.

Just need to get the knack of it.

C'mon, slowpoke. Keep pace with us.

- Try to catch up. - Okay.

This is "shedding sweat"?

This is "work"?

Oh, dear. The seedlings we planted.

Come on, give me your hand.

Good job. We managed to meet our daily target.

Here. A special treat for working hard on your first day.

What should I say at times like this?

Thank you!

Thank you.

Let's go have a bath now!

What's a "bath"?

"Memorial Bathhouse"

This is a "bath."

You need to take your clothes off.

Bath is strange. It's different than LCL. It's warm and fuzzy.

I'm alive even without orders.

Why?

You just want to play the victim, lying down in that corner, all clammed up.

Get outta my way.

Annoying jerk.

Oh, it's not Mommy.

Welcome home, Ms. Look-alike. Thank you for the hard work.

Sorry I'm late.

Yay! Mommy!

- Have you been a good girl? - Yup!

As always, thank you, Hikari.

Not at all. We're here to help each other.

Right, let's go home.

Yup! Goodbye!

Goodbye.

What's "goodbye"?

It's what you say when you hope we see each other again.

Come on!

Okay.

Let's play together at home.

What's that?

It's what you do to bond with someone.

I'm sick of this.

You're giving us a hard time too, you know.

Puking again, I see.

Damn brat! You should be grateful you get fed in the first place!

You're still a mock Lilin. You won't last if you don't eat.

Just swallow it down!

I've been living on water only.

Enjoy the taste of crappy food before your body stops growing.

Idiot brat!

You're just idling like that because you're afraid of getting hurt!

Since you got all this time to yourself,

why don't you think about why I tried to punch your face in before!

You're so mentally feeble.

Whatever you do backfires, and there's no turning back.

It's all your fault, so you don't feel like doing anything anymore.

I know your father told you to do it, but with your lack of mental toughness

I'd rather you didn't pilot the Eva.

Keep sulking and get lost, brat.

I'm home.

Where's Ikari?

He ran away.

I see. Leaving him alone might be the best option for now.

Where did he go?

The lakeside ruins, north of here.

Where NERV HQ used to be. Maybe that's fate too. Did he eat?

I force-fed him. Should be okay for a while.

Thanks, Shikinami.

I'm not doing it for him.

I'd never let him die selfishly while he still had his head up his ass.

My name?

Yes, we can't keep on calling you Ms. Look-alike.

The Doc said you forgot your name.

Why don't you give yourself a new one?

Can I do that?

"Library"

Books...

Shinji mentioned these...

I found it, so I'm returning it.

Thank you.

Wanna read?

"Ochibi and the Porcupine"

Thank you.

I'm alone.

Always have been, always will be.

And that's just how it is, Asuka.

Who is it?

It's me.

Original Batch?

I'll unlock the door.

They told me Shinji would be here.

He's not here right now. He's run away.

I see. I'll go look for him, then.

Got some news for you.

To prevent us Eva pilots from transcending human limits,

they put limiters on us at design time, just like the Evas.

That's why we have inefficient emotions.

We're designed in compliance with human cognitive behavior.

You Ayanami series are adjusted to like the Third Boy.

Your feelings were rigged by NERV since the beginning.

I see. But I don't mind. I'm happy like this.

I see. Do as you please, then.

The object of your affection is at N109 tower,

inside the NERV 2nd Branch ruins.

Thank you.

Bring his rations with you. He must be running out of fuel by now.

Why aren't you in the village and working there?

Are you an idiot? This isn't a place I'm supposed to live in.

It's a place I protect.

Shinji.

They taught me to return what I found.

I'll come again.

Is it okay to leave Shinji alone? Ain't it dangerous?

Let's leave him be for now. He needs time to himself.

But, Kensuke... ain't you a bit too cold towards him?

Worrying too much won't help either of us.

He'll come back. Let's have faith in him.

You're right.

I hope he'll blend in with the village soon.

Why don't you come back to the village?

You also aren't doing anything.

Are you protecting the village too?

I'm not protecting anything.

I destroyed everything!

I don't wanna do anything anymore! No talking! Don't wanna see anybody!

I want to be left alone.

Why are you all so nice to me?

Because we like you.

Thank you for talking to me.

This... is what you do to bond with someone.

End of escape. Thanks to Original Batch?

Yeah.

Cried all your tears and now you feel relieved?

Yeah.

Right. If you can move about, go help Ken-Ken.

Let's hit the road a little. It'll take your mind off things.

I'm a handyman, so I'm exempt from farming duties.

Today we'll go check the outer infrastructure and environment.

It'll be a busy day.

But the infrastructure's too old and doesn't work anymore.

It's too difficult to repair, so it was abandoned.

We only pick up fallen sticks or prune the lower limbs.

Wanna take good care of what's left of the woods.

Village 3 relies on this water. It's important to check the water level.

It's tied to the survival of the village. It's a real lifeline for us.

I'll go check the spring. The trek's too steep for you. Stay here and work.

Here, help secure some food.

No. I've never done it. I can't do it.

Try first, then talk.

Don't sweat it. Our quota is one fish per week. You'll have another chance.

That's WILLE's parting gift.

A complementarity L-containment field purification process nullifying unit.

Thanks to that thing, Village 3 has avoided corization.

We owe Misato and her group.

They showed up lately. We call them Wanderers.

Headless Evas who were buried suddenly started moving about.

We're monitoring them today.

Yeah, the containment pillars are keeping them away.

Those seals work against the Wanderers too.

There are jobs even a handyman can't do. If that thing stops working, we're dead.

As you can see, we don't know how long this place can survive.

But we're going to struggle on and live until the very end.

Those are pickled plums. Tohji looks forward to eating them every year.

Life is a continuous cycle of tough times and good times.

There's nothing wrong if every day feels the same as today. That's how it is.

Right now is the youngest I'll ever be. I want to live to the fullest right now.

And there's Tsubame too.

She's more attached to you than me.

You should live here with us forever, Ms. Look-alike.

My name?

Yeah. Have you picked one?

No, not yet.

Ask someone to pick one for you, then.

Your name?

Yes. I want you to give me a name.

I want to stay here. To do that, I need a name.

I want you to give me one.

A name for you...

But you're not Ayanami...

Any name will do.

I want to have a name that you give me.

Is Original Batch functioning all right?

Yeah. She came to see me again today. Why?

I see. That's fine, then.

I see... I can only live inside NERV.

So, Shinji... have you gotten used to village life?

Yeah, a little.

That's good to hear.

This village was just a ragtag bunch of strangers.

That's good to hear.

Was it hard at the beginning?

Well, let's see...

A lot of stuff happened.

It wasn't a world where clueless kids could survive.

We had to grow up in a hurry and learn to do everything on our own.

I even did things I'm ashamed of for the sake of my family.

Had to throw away my naivety in order to survive.

I'm not really a doctor or anything prestigious like that.

I'm just a stand-in. Self-taught helper.

I only make it by thanks to medical instruments

and facilities from Kredit.

Tohji, you should be proud of yourself. You're helping people.

There are lives I can't save.

But I keep on going.

'Cause shouldering the bereaved's sadness and anger is part of the job, I think.

I've gotta pay for my mistakes. I mean, take responsibility.

That's what I think.

Shinji, you've already fought enough to protect all of us.

From now on, you should stay here and live with us.

That's what I think.

Thanks for coming with me this early in the morning.

I never thought my father,

who survived the Near Third Impact, would die just like that in an accident.

I should've had talks with him,

had some drinks, and listened to some of his gripes.

Your father's still alive, right?

Even if you think it'd be useless, try talking to him. Or you'll regret it.

We're talking about Gendoh Ikari. It's too tough for this guy here.

But they're father and son. Ties like that never die.

Mrs. Matsukata had a hard time during labor, but she pulled through.

I'm glad the baby was born healthy. Her husband was crying with joy.

Oh, well. You can laugh after all.

Yes, you're quite cute too.

Really. You also have a nice figure. Why don't you try other clothes?

Yes... I'll try wearing something different.

How about this?

Looks great on you.

- You really are cute. - I want you to marry my son.

This is "blushing"?

How cute.

This is "embarrassed"?

Sorry. This suit's a bit hot, but keep it on for a while.

I'm the jack-of-all-trades handyman, so I also liaison with Kredit.

The L-containment field is weaker here, so they do restoration experiments.

It's Kredit's outdoor lab.

There's a staff member I want you to meet.

Mr. Aida!

It's been too long, sir. Is that your new assistant?

Yeah, something like that.

I've never met an outsider before.

I'm Kaji. Ryoji Kaji.

What's your name?

So, what'd ya think? Nice guy, isn't he?

Yes, he is.

But his name... Kaji...

Yeah. He's Misato and Kaji's son. He'll be 14 soon.

He knows nothing about his parents.

That's Ms. Misato's wish.

She feels she can't be much of a mother to him, so she decided to stay away

for the rest of her life and protect him as the head of WILLE instead.

What happened to Mr. Kaji?

He died.

Someone had to sacrifice themselves in order to stop the Third Impact.

Mr. Kaji decided he'd be the one. Ms. Misato let him go.

She regrets that you got stuck with all the baggage on your shoulders, Ikari.

She felt she should have.

I think she doesn't want to let you pilot an Eva because of that.

Ikari, you're not the only one who's hurting.

Ms. Misato is in pain as well.

The smell of earth...

Mr. Kaji...

The Wunder will come by tomorrow. Your return route is all set up.

The records of the village Ms. Misato asked for.

Includes crew members' family photos.

And here's a letter to Tohji's sister. He asks kindly for your help.

Okay, got it.

I'm home.

These are tears?

I'm the one... crying?

Is this how it feels to be lonely?

Good morning, Ms. Look-alike.

"Good night. Good morning. Thank you..."

"Goodbye."

Good morning.

Good morning. What's up? You're here early.

I wanted to see you, Shinji.

Here.

Thanks.

Um, about that name you asked about...

You're still Ayanami. I can't think of another name.

Thank you for thinking about it.

I'm happy just the same.

I can't survive here.

But I like this place.

Ayanami?

Now I know "like." I'm happy.

Ayanami, what's wrong?

I wanted to harvest the rice.

I wanted to hold Tsubame more.

I wanted to be with the boy I liked, forever.

Goodbye.

Ayanami!

Really? Ms. Look-alike isn't with you?

What's wrong?

So that's the Wunder, huh? Jeez, it's huge.

The people who want to leave are disembarking.

The final battle is near.

Hey, stop filming me!

Sorry, but I want to keep a record of today.

I see. Do as you please, then.

So, why did you come here?

Ikari, you can stay behind, you know.

Thank you, Kensuke.

Please give my thanks to Tohji and the others.

I'll go with you, Asuka.

I see. Well, these are the rules, so...

Suzuhara...

Sakura.

I said don't pilot no more Evas, but you ran away and did just that!

You jerk! You absolute jerk!

You're such a jerk, Mr. Ikari!!

What are you, his wife?

The status of the escapee has been verified.

Taking over responsibility of BM-03's monitoring and restrainment as of now.

Please sign here, Temporary Special Senior Major Langley-Shikinami.

No DSS choker?

There's no need.

He'll be held in the blast containment chamber until the end of the mission.

Monitored Target Subject BM-03 arrived at Chamber 2. Ready detonation systems.

You figured it's the best solution since he managed to take it off, huh?

MAGI Copy has record of choker activation.

It shows that the other pilot blew up right in front of Mr. Ikari's eyes.

Even after experiencing such trauma, he still came back to the Wunder.

Why?

Who knows. Captain Katsuragi letting him on board is more of a mystery to me.

Village 3's visual record and personal correspondence from Suzuhara.

"To Sakura with love! Your Big Bro"

From Tohji...

Chamber 2's total enclosure

and emergency blast activation system is online.

Quarantine procedures for Monitored Target Subject BM-03 are now complete.

Covering for disembarked personnel OK.

New Unit 02 works are on track.

Start installation of Unit 08i's power shift.

Sit-rep on main turrets and exterior works?

Replacement of Turret 4 and addition of the aft turret is proceeding nominally.

Work on Eva in the ship external dock is lagging behind by a total of 3%.

Speed is Priority One.

We'll rush through the first 1/5 of the checklist!

Yes, ma'am!

N1 Rocket's secondary coupling will restart in 5 minutes.

Got no problem with picking up Major Shikinami.

But why did that jinx come along with her?

Better than letting NERV use him again.

All personnel is authorized to shoot him if he tries to board the Eva.

Reassuring enough, no?

That's just talk. No substance.

I mean, the Captain didn't neutralize him when he escaped.

My faith in her is zero now.

He's still a child. I understand her hesitation.

That "child" caused the Near Third Impact that wiped out my whole family.

The N3I was just an unintended consequence.

And the Captain is doing all she can to atone.

I agree. Kaji entrusted WILLE to her. I trust her all the way.

You're all too soft on them.

Like this water made with someone's pee... You think purifying it is enough.

Doesn't work like that.

New Unit 02, JA components connection test is a go.

Start left arm independent coordination system work as planned.

They've added even more explosives. They're losing faith in us.

I'm back.

Welcome back, Highness. Good job. I missed you so much!

Jeez, look at this room! You're hoarding even more books.

Books are the aggregate of human wisdom.

My impossible dream is to read every book in the world.

By the way, any progress with Puppy Boy?

I'm not interested.

Oh! You care not for teenage boys.

That brat doesn't need a lover.

He needs a mother.

All loading from logistic support ships has been completed.

All logistics officers, vacate supply ships now.

Sign here to permit the operational independence of Kredit

and removal of all restrictors on the Evas,

Captain Katsuragi.

Captain and XO approval verified.

Maya, please get started.

Roger, senior XO.

You're always here when you want to be alone.

Maybe we should have this be the Captain's quarters.

You can't forget Ryoji that easily, huh?

It's not about Kaji. I can relax better here. That's all.

Well, this section houses the primary mission of this ship.

Conservation of all species.

An unmanned, totally autonomous ark with near-perpetual operation capability.

That's AAA Wunder's true nature.

For Kaji, the survival of mankind wasn't very important.

He held the highest priority on preserving all the diverse life forms

that the Human Instrumentality Project would obliterate.

He wanted to evacuate as many seeds of life as possible outside of the Earth.

So he seized this ship from NERV while it was still being built.

He felt it was impossible for humanity to stop the Instrumentality Project.

But he gave his life to stop the Third Impact in the end.

He died in the most self-contradicting, selfish way. Super annoying jerk.

And now he's gone.

So I'll use this ship to annihilate NERV,

and thwart their Human Instrumentality Project.

So you can get revenge?

No. Instead of an ark to preserve life,

it'll be a battleship that saves lives.

You really sound like a mother.

I have no right at all to be called "mother."

Captain and XO on navigation bridge.

NERV HQ has started moving.

It's most likely directed to Ground Zero in the former South Pole.

Together with the Black Moon.

The restorationof the Black Moon, necessary for the Fourth Impact.

The resurrection of the Advanced Ayanami series,

untainted life forms made with pure souls free of sexual distinction,

which shall be the sacrificial offering to the Vessel of the Adams.

And the Human Instrumentality Project, humanity's attempt of self-salvation.

Look where that arrogance has led us.

The Third Boy has returned to WILLE.

Ayanami No.6 was not properly calibrated, and it seems to have lost its form.

Did you make him go through the same loss as you to teach him something,

Ikari?

He seems to be psychologically stable.

So, Captain Katsuragi. What do you want to do with Shinji Ikari?

Never meet him again, just like your son?

Keeping him in custody will be enough. No need for me to see him.

You're sure he doesn't need to have a DSS choker?

There's no point in redemption unless you're willing to atone for your sins.

Misato. You're acting all tough, but in truth you're happy he's back.

Actions driven by emotions only bring trouble. You know that.

You don't pull punches, as always.

Being soft on you only brings trouble. I know that.

Nothing else changes in my body, but my hair keeps growing. How annoying.

Gods, corruption, and desires... they dwell within the fibers of hair.

It embodies the chaos of the human mind.

It's unequivocal proof that you are a human, Your Highness.

The cursed Ground Zero of the Second Impact.

All the Vessel of the Adams are ready.

The reactivation of Unit 13 is only a matter of time.

Right. Let us start, Fuyutsuki.

Take care of the rest.

So far, everything is going according to SEELE's scenario.

Go on, Shinji!

Do this for yourself!

Do it to make your wish come true!

Captain, I have bad news. NERV HQ has arrived at its final destination.

The reactivation of Unit 13 has started.

That means we have only a few hours left, right?

Yes, but I have good news.

Shutdown signal plug is ready. Both Evas are too, at their bare minimum state.

Understood. All stations, prepare for launch.

Interrupt all work in 25 minutes. We'll take off in 30 minutes.

Rash as always.

All stations, prepare for launch, battle stations condition 2!

Take off in 25 minutes.

All hands, complete all work in 20 minutes.

I repeat, all stations, ready launch in battle station condition 1.

Unmanned fleet, final adjustment to launch position.

N1 Rocket propellant injection complete. Switching to internal power.

Final status check is a go. All extra- vehicular work crew must vacate now!

You have many bandanas, Chief Takao.

Yeah. One for each comrade who died when we rose against NERV.

This is how you told apart enemies and allies during the revolt, right?

Yeah, we want to return the color of the sea and the land back to this color.

It's the symbol of our promise.

Thanks.

This bandana has become Ryoji's memento.

Take care of yourself, Katsuragi.

Truth be told...

I wanted to stay behind with Kaji back then.

I know. Maybe he would have let you, if you weren't expecting.

I need to go to battle stations, so I'll be at sickbay.

Mr. Ikari, please don't go anywhere.

Use the red button to call me if you need to.

I'll be on my way.

An extra deep depth pressure resistant experimental plug suit.

Seems it's brand spanking new.

Of course they gave us brand-new suits. They're our burial clothes.

New Unit 02, JA reactor activated.

Output stable. Start energy circulation.

Unit 08 Improved's coupling with the Dragon Carrier is nominal.

No separation test. We'll launch it as it is!

Extracting temporary cage's final lock bolt.

Both Eva units are being positioned for launch.

Four-Eyed Crony. Let's take a little detour.

Roger that.

Adjusting New Unit 02 and Unit 08i entry plug.

120 until ready position lock.

Who is it?

Um, I don't know...

I'll give you a hint. Rooftop and glasses.

Gorgeous gal with big boobs.

The parachute girl?

Bingo!

I didn't introduce myself. I'm Mari Illustrious-Makinami.

Nice to meet you again, WILLE puppy.

You changed a bit. You smell more grown-up, I guess?

Doesn't change that easily, that brat.

It's the end, so I'll ask.

Did you figure out why I wanted to clobber you?

It's because I couldn't make up my mind

when you were inside Unit 03.

I didn't help you and I didn't kill you.

Because I didn't want to take responsibility.

You did grow up a bit.

It's the end, so I'll tell you.

That boxed lunch you made for me, it was pretty tasty.

I think I had a crush on you back then.

But I've turned into an adult ahead of you.

Bye.

You're doing great. You should be proud, Shinji Ikari.

Zaijian! See ya!

Feel better now, Highness?

Yeah. I do.

Both Eva pilots have begun boarding their respective entry plugs.

Shinji, you need to find a place to rest that you can call your own.

The ties that bind you will show you the way.

We'll meet again.

You're right, Kaworu.

APU power output stable. Main engine threshold achieved.

Thrust increasing to 11,600,000 tons.

Gyrocompass in operation. Helm and gravity controls all green.

Both Evas secured in launch position. Start entry sequence.

Routing power to main guns. No abnormalities in energy flow.

Unmanned fleet has been locked into position for launch.

Stop all extravehicular work now. Non-combatants in stand-by.

All stations are now in battle stations condition 1.

Captain, all stations ready for launch.

- Ready to storm NERV HQ anytime. - Roger.

Captain to crew.

In order to irreversibly prevent the Fourth Impact from happening,

this ship will now assault NERV HQ at the former South Pole Ground Zero.

Operation Yamato will neutralize Eva Unit 13, the trigger of the rites.

We'll bring an end to all this chaos once and for all.

Launch Wunder!

Entry sequence complete. Command control transferred to battle bridge.

Reaching seed storage units ejection point.

Roger. Sever linkage with the Wunder.

Switch to independent internal power and control systems.

Eject all seed storage units.

All units ejected into L5. Autonomous systems functioning nominal.

Start descent to target. Initiate re-entry.

Aye aye. Entering atmosphere.

Monitors back online.

Proceeding to Ground Zero.

Entering L-c field barrier surface.

Navigating L-containment field barrier surface. All systems go.

We're above the L-c field that rejects all life stained by the original sin.

Humanity is advancing through this purified area without being blessed.

All thanks to Kaji's data and the Anti-L System.

20 to dive possible point in L-c field.

Roger. All stations, ready for dive.

Starboard hull No.2 hit! Damage unknown!

Enemy ship sighted at 3 o'clock!

The No.2 ship Erlösung with Opfer Type systems!

So they've completed it.

Sorry, but we'll have to indulge Ikari with his games a bit more.

Trying to buy time to stop Unit 13's reactivation, huh?

Same God-slaying power as us. Tricky.

Bring it on!

Starboard guns, ready to fire!

We'll hold that NERV ship at bay as we hurry to the diving point.

Fire!

We've taken multiple hits! Their firepower's overwhelming!

How can that be the same class ship as this?

Our ship's unfinished, that's why. But when it comes to propulsion power...

we win!

L-c field diving point reached!

- Emergency dive! - Aye aye!

Going through L-c field layer 1.

Entering layer 2. L-containment field strength density +30.

Eva Infinity swarm dead ahead at 12 o'clock!

No matter. We'll blitz through them.

Enemy ship sighted at 12 o'clock!

An ambush?

No.3 ship, the Erbsünde... We got caught in a pincer attack.

This is bad! Our navigation will fail if we're hit anymore!

No.3 ship has poor outfitting. We'll sink it first.

Helm steady. Maximum battle speed!

Aye aye!

No.3 ship taking evasive action!

Don't let her get away! Ram into her!

This is nuts!

Turn us around! Roll 180 degrees!

We'll switch positions!

Aye aye!

Using the No.3 ship as a shield...

Reckless as usual.

We've broken through the Infinity swarm. Entering L-c field layer 3.

Acquired target, NERV HQ. It has already shifted below the Black Moon.

Unit 13's reactivation is imminent.

No.2 and No.3 ship gaining on our aft.

We're out of time. We'll use the Moon as a cover and set course for assault.

Ready launch of guided munitions.

Set target to Unit 13 Re-adjustment sector.

NERV Battleships approaching our aft at 6 o'clock!

Tilt the ship. Reduce our target size to a minimum.

Aye aye!

Blow port gravity ballast. Down 20.

Protect the ships on the main wings. Concentrate our A.T. Field!

Aft main gun hit badly! They're beating us blind!

Don't panic! Just need to hold until launch point.

10 until guided munitions launch point.

Trajectory clear!

Launch all guided munitions!

Launching all guided munitions.

Got a visual on final target, Unit 13!

As expected, it hasn't reactivated yet. Unit 13 is still immobile.

Eva 7 Series is inbound!

Gazillions of them! Impossible to count.

Ignore the small fry. Expedite Evas' launch!

Maya! Ready launch of both Evas!

- Roger. Readying launch of both Evas! - Launch!

Mari, Asuka, I'm counting on you.

Out of my way!

Coming through! Sorry, guys!

Four-Eyed Crony! Next weapon!

Okeydokey.

Next!

Highness!

Mock Evas ganging up to block the way. How annoying!

Four-Eyed Crony! Gimme a hand!

Gotcha!

Both our Evas landed on NERV HQ!

Our target must be below that crater.

These guys...

are way too much of a pain!

Go ahead, Your Highness!

Thanks, Four-Eyed Crony!

Eva Unit 13...

We made it...

Even if they call it "God's Eva,"

it's just the 13th man-made ultimate multipurpose humanoid decisive weapon.

If I shoot the shutdown override signal plug into the core,

even if we can't destroy it, it won't be able to move.

This is...

the end!

An A.T. Field?

Unit 13 isn't supposed to have an A.T. Field...

Why?

Wait, is this my Eva's A.T. Field?

New Unit 02 is afraid of Unit 13?

Something's wrong.

What are you scheming, Gendoh?

This is weird. NERV ships are pulling back.

They're descending.

That's the cursed Ground Zero of the Second Impact, Calvary base!

The Gates of Hell are open once more.

Does this mean...

Wings of light?

They want to cause the Fourth Impact using the same method as the Second?

No. They can't use the ships built to be the Guardians of Guf as a trigger.

Besides, what's happening to the Black Moon isn't part of the plan.

This isn't in SEELE's scenario. It's a rite we know nothing about.

A totally unpredicted Another Impact, I see.

This changes nothing. We'll crush all of NERV's plans!

Ready main guns. Take out No.3 ship first.

All available guns, target No.3!

Ready super EM direct impact shells. No director calculations needed.

All turrets, initiate fire as soon as you're ready!

But there were 4 ships in the construction plan.

Fire!

Give me a sit-rep!

Direct hit! Something pierced our starboard and port secondary hulls!

Stern damaged. Main gun systems are now down!

No.4 ship, Gebet.

We've fallen into their trap.

They'll need this thing to complete the final impact anyway.

So I have to get rid of it right now.

It's right in front of me, but I can't get through...

Time for the last resort. I'm sorry, New Unit 02.

I gotta make you go all-out.

Disable all restrictors.

Backdoor code Triple Nine.

Pattern blue! I have readings of the 9th Angel within NERV HQ!

Are you going to use the power of an Angel?

Angel Blood...

Full injection!

Highness, you won't be human anymore!

I'll neutralize New Unit 02's A.T. Field...

with my own A.T. Field!

It's not a single entry plug system?

Oh, no! Gendoh wanted Princess to become an Angel!

Shikinami type?

My original, huh.

The last Eva's form mirrors that of a God.

All you need to do is accept me along with my love.

Come to me.

Tough luck.

That's pointless, my cute idiot.

Asuka!

New Unit 02's signal has gone dark! Pilot status, unknown!

N2 reactor APU, heavy damage!

Damn! What now?

Something like an Eva is attached to the ship!

Pattern blue. It's an Opfer Type Eva.

They built a Mk.9 and pilot from scratch?

This is bad! Our ship's being physically infiltrated!

Expunge it now!

We're trying, but the contamination speed is too fast, we can't keep up!

Mk.9 has broken through the VD firewall!

We're screwed! All control systems hijacked!

Well, we're in a real pickle.

Impressive as always, Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki.

The artificial recreation of Lilith.

The forced conversion of the Black Moon to become spears.

The stage is set.

How will you bring the drama to a close, Ikari?

Intruder on the bow deck!

Commander Ikari.

I'm sorry, Highness.

I'm filled with unbearable shame.

It seems I have no choice but to withdraw for now.

It's been some time.

Commander Ikari.

I compliment you on your hard work, Colonel Katsuragi.

I shall now employ this ship as previously planned.

It's you...

Shoot first, ask questions later, I see...

No hesitation when it comes to accomplishing your goal, as usual.

Yeah. I learned from you.

Gods need no barriers.

We accept everything that comes our way.

Gendoh Ikari.

You've used the Key of Nebuchadnezzar and willingly abandoned your humanity?

I merely appended upon my body

information that transcends the Logos of our realm.

There are no problems.

I'll slay the Gods, bind them with humanity,

and through the sacrifice of Angels,

enable the deification and the instrumentality of humankind.

And you intend to sacrifice Asuka to do this, Gendoh Ikari?!

The Ayanami and Shikinami type pilots

were prepared specifically for this.

There are no problems.

Humanity...

No, all ancient life of this planet is being commoditized.

All souls are converted to cores,

and merged with the Eva Infinities. Is this the start of the Fourth Impact?

Correct.

The Second Impact purified the oceans.

The Third purified the earth.

The Fourth shall purify the souls.

The cores that form the Eva Infinities are the materialization of souls.

We'll cast aside our vessel, the seeds of man,

and our collective intelligence will be guided to unsullied paradise

in this final rite.

In exchange for bringing about the Second Impact,

your father, Doctor Katsuragi proved the validity of his proposal,

the Human Instrumentality Project.

I will stop my father's raving gibberish at all costs.

Having tasted the fruit of knowledge, only two paths await humanity.

Be exterminated by the Angels that have been given the fruit of life.

Or exterminate the Angels and rob them of their seats before God,

surrender our intellect

and become the divine offspring enjoying eternal life.

We must choose one of these two fates.

NERV's Human Instrumentality Project was the product

of SEELE choosing the latter, a feeble resistance against the Gods

by employed the powers of Adams.

Nevertheless, a worthwhile cause to pursue.

We'll reject a plan that bows down to the Gods and pursues a hard reset.

We'll continue on with hope in ourselves.

I have faith that humanity's will and knowledge

will one day overcome the power of the Gods.

It's all a matter of interpretation of the truth.

Colonel Katsuragi, you are forsaking the world.

Doctor Akagi, you are blind to what happiness has to offer.

Human sentiments cannot change anything.

All the horsemen have assembled now.

So, I will now have you return the Eva Unit 01 that I lent to you.

Father!

We survived the Near Third Impact and everything.

I'm going to believe in our luck and Ms. Misato's WILLE.

Beyond the Doors of Guf is the anti-universe,

a realm Wunder cannot enter.

WILLE no longer has the ability to stop the Instrumentality Project.

We're at the end of our rope.

Ms. Misato.

I'll pilot Eva Unit 01.

On my way home after Ayanami disappeared,

I noticed the smell of earth. I learned it from Mr. Kaji.

I want to take half the burden off of you.

Doing that means you're going to fight Gendoh Ikari.

I want to settle things for myself.

Wait a second!

Are you joking? You're not going to let him pilot an Eva, are you?

I was afraid something like this might happen.

You authorized us to shoot to kill in situations like this, right, Captain?

You're a plague.

That N3I you started made our lives a living hell!

This is all you and your father's fault!

I'll never forgive you two.

Sakura?

Shinji Ikari won't pilot an Eva.

Mr. Ikari piloted an Eva and brought misfortune on us

and upon himself.

That's why Mr. Ikari won't pilot an Eva!

I'm sorry, Ms. Sakura.

Please let me pilot the Eva.

You're talking total hogwash!

Once you're hurt, you won't have to use the Eva.

It'll hurt, but it's better than having to be the pilot.

Please bear with me!

- Misato?! - Captain!

Ms. Misato?!

It's okay, Shinji.

Had you not piloted Eva Unit 01 14 years ago,

we would have already been exterminated.

That's why I'm grateful to you,

even if N3I happened as a consequence.

I am entirely responsible for your actions.

I, Misato Katsuragi, still have custody of Shinji Ikari.

I'll take full responsibility for his subsequent actions.

Right now, I want to entrust everything to Shinji.

That's right! We're all in debt to Mr. Ikari for saving us!

But my father, and so many others, were lost to N3I!

Mr. Ikari is our savior and our destroyer!

We've got no other choice!

It's alright. Let it go, Sakura.

Let's just think about what we do in the future.

This is... all so...

Sorry there, folks!

Doing some prep work made me late.

Now let's go, Puppy Boy.

Maya, bring the plug suit from the Captain's quarters.

The bullet will dissolve quickly. I'll do first aid on you.

It's okay, Lieutenant.

Shinji Ikari...

the only thing a son can do for his father

is pat him on his shoulder or kill him.

Kaji's words.

Ms. Misato, I met Ryoji Kaji.

Was he well?

Yes.

That's good to hear.

He's such a nice guy.

I only talked to him for a short while, but I liked him.

Thank you.

I'll back you up.

I'm counting on you, Shinji.

Okay, Ms. Misato. I'll go now.

Take care, Shinji.

Let's get back to work.

The ship is falling apart. Main and auxiliary engines are gone.

It's a miracle we're still afloat.

That's fine.

We'll work another miracle before the backup power runs out.

Eva Unit 08 Improved is overlapping-compliant.

By incorporating Vessel of the Adams, it's in an extra four-in-one state.

So we can navigate through the anti-universe.

Pretty nifty.

Okay, Puppy Boy.

Your job is to destroy Unit 13 before all the Anti-L Systems fail

and everybody becomes core-ized.

That's the only way to turn things around.

Yeah, I understand.

But, jeez, Gendoh sure is sly.

Taking advantage of the anti-universe, keeps doing quantum teleportation.

Catching him ain't gonna be easy.

It's okay, Ms. Mari. I'll go now.

Puppy Boy, there's a chance the Princess' soul

might be left over inside Unit 13.

So please, the Princess... Asuka needs your help.

I got it.

Ayanami...

I will come for you, no matter where you are.

You wait for me, Shinji!

Okay, thank you.

I'll wait for you.

Good luck.

Are you fine with this, Rei?

Ayanami...

Shinji...

I'm sorry.

I tried so that you wouldn't have to pilot an Eva anymore, but I failed.

It's okay. Thank you, Ayanami.

I'll take it from here.

Yes, please.

So, Unit 01's pilot has awakened, has he?

Transmission from the anti-universe via Unit 08i.

Eva Unit 01 has reactivated!

No way! It can't be!

The jinx's synch rate was zero!

Could it be that Shinji's true synchronization wasn't zero,

but the closest value to zero?

Yes, his synch rate is

infinite.

It transformed into Cassius, the spear of hope.

Please, you've got to stop this, Father!

No, I cannot.

I have deeds to fulfill.

What does that man plan to do by forcefully causing Another Impact?

There can be only one reason for causing Another Impact.

He created a new spear for the Fourth Impact,

but then he reserved two spears until the very end.

Probably to realize one single wish.

That's so stupid. What a selfish jerk.

We'll be reunited soon, Yui.

I can't move.

Father, let me go!

What is that?

That is the Golgotha Object.

Beings who were not human

left behind in this place six spears, the Adams, and the world of the Gods.

My wife, your mother, was here as well.

This is the promised land, the place where everything started.

There are things man cannot change, except here.

This is the one and only place even fate may be bent to one's will.

Where are we?

The Eva cage?

What is this place?

This is the world of your memories.

Father?

Our senses can't perceive the anti-universe.

Therefore, the LCL has created a virtual environment we can perceive.

Hand over Unit 01 without delay.

Then you too will be able to meet your mother again.

So you intend to put up a futile resistance?

This is why I dislike children.

Fine, we'll take the long way, then.

What's going on?! Our moves are the same.

This is hard!

The two Evas are perfect counterparts.

Unit 01 embodies hope. Unit 13, despair.

They are synchronized and attuned to each other.

This also is a rite of passage I must pass.

Please stop, Father!

It's useless.

Your feeble powers will not stop me.

You still don't understand.

Your powers are meaningless.

Violence and fear are not the criteria

upon which our conflict can be resolved.

That's right. This is not something that can be resolved through might.

I want to talk to you, Father.

Father...

what are you trying to do here?

Something that can only be done here at the Golgotha Object.

The Additional Impact.

That paves the way through which I may slay the Gods.

To that end, I delivered two spears upon this land.

MAGI Copy predicts that

Commander Ikari will exhaust the last two spears at the very end.

Once all the spears are gone, Shinji won't be able to stop the initiation.

Then what the hell do we do?

We'll make a new spear and deliver it to him.

That's impossible. Just how do you plan to do that?

While this ship was hijacked and reverted to the Buße,

the ships used the Black Moon as raw material to create unknown spears.

So there must be a way this ship can create a new spear.

When human will imbues with Wunder, it could work another miracle.

I believe in Ritsuko's intelligence and the power of WILLE and Wunder.

That's reckless. We only have the data samples

we collected a moment ago.

I bet that's enough for you.

I suppose. I'll give it a shot.

I think the key's in the spinal linkage system.

Sorry, Maya, we'll have to do this on the fly.

No problem, XO senpai.

That's what we always do.

Chief! Backup power systems

and spinal linkage system still good to go!

Let's swap out the components right here!

No! You need to evacuate! Just being here is dangerous!

It's our last duty!

Let's do what we can, Chief!

This is the problem with young men.

Right. Let's start aiding Shinji before Commander Ikari does something crazy.

Yes, ma'am!

Unit 01 pilot, there's something I want to show you.

That's...

Black Lilith?

I see. Your memory leads you to see it as such.

This is Evangelion Imaginary.

Doctor Katsuragi predicted the existence of this Eva.

An Eva that is imaginary and fictional.

Only humanity, with its ability to believe equally

in both fantasy and reality, can perceive it.

The spears of despair and hope become each other's sacrifice and trigger.

The Imaginary and Reality blend together,

and everything becomes homogenized information.

And thus begins the Additional Impact.

The process that rewrites not only our cognition,

but the entire world as well.

This is the only means by which my wish can be granted.

This is the Additional Impact?

Yes, that's probably Eva Imaginary.

I never thought it really existed.

This is crazy.

It's totally nuts!!

I see, so it finally begins.

Oh, it's you.

It's been quite some time, Professor Fuyutsuki.

But I gotta say, isn't the L-containment field density pretty damn high here?

Well, this ship was never designed to be manned. I realize I'm being reckless.

The ray of light called hope eternally shines upon humanity.

But humans also drown, clinging on to the disease known as hope.

I believe both Ikari and I have clung on to that disease for far too long.

Gendoh wants to fulfill his wish by being the focal point of human instrumentality.

I can sympathize with how you want to help him,

or actually, how your wish overlaps with his.

But I'd rather you not drag the whole of humanity down with you, ya know.

I can understand. My job is done.

I've assembled the things you wanted. Do as you see best fit,

Mary Iscariot.

Wow, it's been forever since someone called me by that name.

Righty-oh. Bye-bye.

Yui.

Is this what you wanted?

We've gotten it loose! It'll work now!

Captain, the crew we have here will be enough.

Roger. All hands, abandon ship.

All hands, abandon ship! I repeat. All hands, abandon ship!

Priority One to wounded personnel! Head to the escape pods now!

All of the Adams' Vessels, the Opfer Type Evas,

are right here, I see.

As always, Professor Fuyutsuki sure runs a tight ship!!

Sorry, but you guys gotta be the sacrificial lambs...

for my Eva's overlapping!

Now, we're at 08 plus 09 plus 10.

Plus 11!

Alright, just...

one more to go!

Escape pods 1 through 4, hatches closed.

Any remaining crew, rush to Escape Pod 5 immediately!

I need to go back to the helm.

Our job now is to survive.

No matter how bitter it feels.

Captain, the swapping out is done. I think we can give it a go now.

Roger.

Direct all helm control systems to the Captain's seat.

Then leave the ship right away.

Misato?

Someone has to stay behind

and make absolutely sure activation starts.

And I have final responsibility over this ship.

Ritsuko, look after the survivors... all the children left behind.

I understand, Misato.

I'll do my best.

Thank you.

We're low on EM power reserves. When all else fails...

legacy reaction propulsion engines...

are the way to go, I guess.

The Lilin won't be needing you anymore.

Rest in peace, Adams.

The Wunder is on the move. I gotta join up with them.

But, oh, boy... Attempt to realize the instrumentality of both humanity's

physical and mental being simultaneously?

So, Gendoh, what...

Father, what do you wish for?

I chose a world that you refused. A world where there are no A.T. Fields,

where humanity shares one heart and mind equally.

There are no barriers between individuals,

no rich nor poor, no discrimination, no wars, no abuse, no pain nor sorrow.

A world of only pure, unsoiled souls.

And it is a restful world where I can be with Yui once more.

Yui! Yui!

Yui! Yui! Yui!!

Yui! Where are you?! Where are you, Yui?!

Everybody here... is Rei?! Where! Where are you?!

Yui!!

Father, you have to stop this.

Why?! What are you doing here, Shinji?!

I want to learn about you.

I stayed away from you even when I was lonely.

Because I was afraid I'd finally find out if you disliked me or not.

But I want to know now.

To know you, Father.

An A.T. Field? But I got rid of my humanity!

Could it be that I'm afraid of Shinji?

Me?

This wasn't something to get rid of.

It was something to be returned to you, Father.

So you were just like me.

Yes, I was.

Headphones cut me off from the outside world.

They protected me from the noise of others, helped me feign indifference.

But when I met Yui, I no longer needed them.

Have you decided on a name?

Shinji if it's a boy. Rei if it's a girl.

Shinji... Rei...

I never knew my parents' love, and yet I became a parent.

There is no question this world is unstable, imperfect and irrational.

It is a world where things break down if you take what people say at face value.

People say different things at different times.

Which is the truth? What am I supposed to go along with?

Maybe both were the truth to them.

The difference was due to what was going through their minds at the time.

I feared forming bonds with people.

I disliked a world brimming with them.

I was alone since my childhood.

So I never felt lonely.

But there are those in society that scorn such an existence.

I hated going to other people's houses.

Having to visit classmates that didn't interest me, or relatives at their home.

Forced to confront the circumstances of their lives and made to partake in them.

Being together with others was excruciating.

I just wanted to be alone, always.

There were two things I liked as a child.

One was knowledge.

I could satiate my starving heart by gorging on information on my own terms.

No need to think about others.

I could serve upon myself as much knowledge as time would allow me.

The other was the piano.

A finely tuned wire would respond accurately to the key that was touched.

There is no deception there. No betrayals. No disappointments.

My existence would be seamlessly translated into a flow of sounds.

I liked this system.

I liked being alone.

Neither I nor anyone else would get hurt that way.

Alone, I could be at ease.

But after encountering Yui,

I learned that living could be an enjoyable experience.

Yui alone accepted me for who I was.

After I lost her,

I was afraid I could not live alone anymore.

For the first time, I felt the anguish of loneliness.

"HUMAN INSTRUMENTALITY PROJECT PRELIMINARY DRAFT"

I could not bear the burden of losing Yui.

I just wanted to cry in her arms.

I just wanted to change myself by being at her side.

I just wanted to make that wish come true.

Am I... Am I forbidden to meet Yui

because I am weak?

Shinji...

I think it's because you don't want to accept your weakness.

You knew all along, didn't you, Father?

What?

I think that's Ms. Misato.

I'm not through yet!

Impossible... All the holy spears have been lost.

There should be no new spears left that could rewrite the world!!

The Gods bestowed upon us Cassius, the spear of hope,

and Longinus, the spear of despair.

But even after losing those two spears,

the will to return the world to how things were created the spear Gaius.

No, the WILLE's spear.

Armed with knowledge and willpower,

humanity has made it this far even without divine help...

Ms. Yui!

Made it through!

Mari, go to Shinji!

You got it!

I'll bring him back! Promise!

Counting on you!

It seems a new spear will arrive before I could be reunited with Yui.

How regrettable.

As your mother, this was the only thing I could do for you.

I'm sorry, Ryoji.

Thank you, Ms. Misato.

You can heed what others think and accept their deaths?

You've grown to be an adult, Shinji.

Until the very end, I wasn't sure

if Shinji was needed

to rebuild Yui.

Fulfilling a wish entails a sacrifice.

I thought a child was a punishment upon myself.

Not meeting my child,

not being there for him, I thought that would be redemption.

I believed that would be best for my son.

I'm sorry...

Shinji.

I see...

So that's where you were...

Yui...

Gendoh Ikari...

He was at the center of the circle, the core of human instrumentality.

I'll take over now.

So, Shinji Ikari,

what do you wish for?

I'm fine. I think I can handle pain and heartbreak.

I'm more worried about saving Asuka and the others.

I see.

You've already been able to stand back up in the real world,

not just in the imaginary one.

I've got to settle the score for what my father did. Asuka.

I don't know Daddy... Mommy isn't around...

That's why...

You don't need anyone, Asuka.

I'm gonna make it so.

Or it'd be too painful.

Living is painful.

So I pilot my Eva.

People might hate me or diss me.

It doesn't matter,

as long as I can pilot my Eva.

After all, that's all I'm worth.

I'll make my body and heart strong so I don't need anyone.

So...

praise me.

Recognize me.

Give me a place where I can be.

I'm actually lonely.

I just want...

someone to pat me on my head.

It's okay.

You're who you are. That's fine.

I was asleep?

Idiot Shinji?

I'm glad I could see you again.

I wanted to say something to you.

Thanks for saying you liked me.

I liked you too.

Goodbye, Asuka.

Give my regards to Kensuke.

Take care of yourself, Princess...

Guess she's gone.

Won't you be lonely, Shinji?

No, I'll be fine.

Now it's your turn...

Kaworu.

I now remember...

I've been here before many times and met you.

Our names are listed in the Book of Life. We'll keep on meeting each other.

I'm you. I'm just like you.

That's why I was attracted to you.

I wanted to give you happiness.

Yes.

Kaworu, you're just like my father.

That's why you piloted an Eva, isn't it?

Shinji, you're different from your usual self.

You're not going to cry?

No.

Crying is just a relief for yourself.

Me crying won't save anyone.

That's why I won't cry anymore.

I see... You have grown, haven't you?

I'll miss how you were before, but this is fine too.

Kaworu, I think I have to get rid of your Eva, Unit 13 too.

Right. You're casting aside the Evas...

I'm sorry. I misunderstood your happiness.

Exactly, sir. That was your happiness, Commander Nagisa.

It wasn't Shinji's happiness that you wanted.

You wanted his happiness to make you happy.

The only thing that can end my existence is vacuum decay.

That's why I have to repeatedly play a role

in this predestined circular narrative for all of eternity.

This is what you do to bond.

You seek a world with complementaries. Shinji, you never change.

That's exactly why you chose him and listed his name in the Book of Life.

Thank you. You gave me salvation, Ryoji.

I'm honored, Commander Nagisa.

Oh, c'mon, Ryoji. Call me Kaworu.

Not yet, Commander Nagisa.

Nagisa means "shore," the space between land and sea.

It's a fitting name for you, as the one that interlinks humanity,

the 1st Angel and that which becomes the 13th Angel.

You've fulfilled your role more than enough.

Let's let him take over from here.

How about working the earth with me and Katsuragi once you retire?

Yeah. That sounds nice.

You're the only one left...

Ayanami.

I'm fine here.

Another one of you found a place she could call home.

I'm sure Asuka will be able to find her own new place as well.

A happiness without an Eva.

That's what I wished for you, Shinji.

Yes.

So there's a life away from here that you can live too.

-Really? -Yes.

I'm going to choose a life without Evas as well.

I won't rewind time or revert the world.

I'm just going to rewrite the world into one that doesn't have Evas.

A new world where people can live.

Birth of a new world. Neon genesis.

Yeah.

And besides, Ms. Mari will come for me.

So don't worry.

Okay. I won't.

Shinji, thank you.

I'll do it, Ayanami.

Neon genesis.

Even having to leave wounded friends

You're capable of making

A tough choice as a soldier

Who is it?

The pain you are hiding

- Ayanami? - I want you to share

- No, it isn't. I see now. - At least to me before you go

This is the reason why,

you were inside me all this time.

Mother...

I'll never forget, the lonely one

Having to live with remorse because...

I finally understand.

Father wanted to see Mother go.

- The fact that I was - That's the God-slaying

- Fortunate enough to find you - that he wished for.

The fact that I've loved you

I wanna take pride in the blessings

'Til the end of the time

Go aboard a steely dream

Goodbye, all Evangelions.

And the voyager disappears Into the blue universe

It seems to be the things

That change people

Stay unnoticed

How far away

Do you have to go?

Can't you come back

Ever again?

The fact that I was

Fortunate enough to find you

The fact that I've loved you

I wanna take pride in the blessings

'Til the end of the time

The fact that I was

Fortunate enough to find you

The fact that I've loved you

I wanna take pride in the blessings

'Til the end of the time

The fact that I was

Fortunate enough to find you

The fact that I've loved you

I wanna take pride in the blessings 'Til the end of the time

Booyaa! I made it!

Just in the nick of time!

Ms. Mari!

Thank you,

Unit 08 plus 09 plus 10 plus 11 plus 12.

Hey, Final Evangelion, you did good.

Ms. Mari!

Sorry I'm late, Shinji!

The train will arrive shortly.

For your safety, please stand behind the yellow line.

Who is it?

A gorgeous gal with big boobs.

Bingo.

You smell real fine as usual.

The scent of an adult?

And you are real cute as usual.

Well, now. You're talkin' like a real grown-up.

C'mon, Shinji!

Yeah, let's go!

My first time at the Louvre was No big deal

Because I'd already met My own Mona Lisa, long ago

The day I first laid eyes on you Wheels began to turn

An unstoppable premonition of loss

We already have so many

But let's add another one

(Can you give me one last kiss?)

Something we don't want to forget

Oh oh oh oh oh...

Something I don't want to forget

Oh oh oh oh oh...

I love you more than you'll ever know

"I don't like being photographed"

But I don't need such things

Your image is burnt forever

On my heart's projector screen

I was pretending I wasn't lonely

Well, I guess that makes two of us

Yearning for someone

Came hand in hand with heartache

Oh, can you give me one last kiss?

A kiss as hot as fire

So passionately that even if I wanted to

I won't be able to forget it

Oh oh oh oh oh...

I love you more than you'll ever know

Oh oh oh oh oh...

I love you more than you'll ever know

I already know

Whether it's the end of the world

Or I grow to be old

There's someone I won't be able to forget

Oh oh oh oh oh...

Someone I can't forget

Oh oh oh oh oh...

I love you more than you'll ever know

Oh oh oh oh oh...

Someone I can't forget

Can't forget

Can't forget

Can't forget

Someone I can't forget

Chasing after a breeze that blew by

One dazzling afternoon

If I could make just one wish

Come true

I want to be laid to rest next to you

No matter where that may be

Beautiful world

Beautiful boy

If I could make just one wish

Come true

I want to be laid to rest next to you

No matter where that may be

Beautiful world

I only have eyes for you, no question

Beautiful boy

Yet unaware

Of his own beauty

It's only love

Day in, day out

Comic books and daydreams

He doesn't like

Who he is

Not knowing what he wants

Just wanting

A lukewarm tear

Runs down the cheek

There isn't anything I want to say

I just want to see you one more time

Maybe I'm a coward

Who can't speak my mind

Oh well, but...

If I can't see you

Before my world disappears

Let me lay down to rest next to you

I don't care where that may be

Beautiful world

In the days so fleeting

Beautiful boy

It's only natural to be temperamental

Beautiful world

Beautiful boy

It's only love

If I could make just one wish

Come true

I want to be laid to rest next to you

It's only love
