[0:00] even gallion is a rather complex story
[0:02] with a confusing timeline that still has
[0:04] fans theorizing about just what actually
[0:06] happened which meant to make this video
[0:08] I had to fully dive into the lore of the
[0:10] series I had to make sense of it all not
[0:12] just for me personally but for anyone
[0:14] who wants to know just what the hell was
[0:16] happening on this beach or why there's
[0:18] three endings that are all
[0:19] simultaneously cannoned but so very
[0:21] opposite the goal of this video is to
[0:23] give you the most in-depth detailed
[0:25] explanation of what happened in even
[0:27] gilion that is available this means
[0:28] analyzing the TV series along with all
[0:31] five films that make up this masterpiece
[0:33] of a story that extends past the anime
[0:35] and bleeds into the real world this will
[0:37] be long but I promise you it'll be worth
[0:40] it the amount of lessons I took away
[0:41] from this show is unmeasurable and I
[0:43] know that's what every even gelan fan
[0:45] stereotypically says but there's truth
[0:47] to it I wasn't one until a couple weeks
[0:49] ago and now I can say this is a series
[0:51] every anime fan should watch so whether
[0:54] you've seen the show and want a deep
[0:56] understanding of its events or are a
[0:58] complete newbie and just want to skip
[0:59] the [ __ ] and find out what this
[1:01] Show's all about this video is for you
[1:04] before getting into the story it's final
[1:06] that you understand the scope of the
[1:08] series there's technically three endings
[1:10] but as I'll get into later they really
[1:12] all make up one cohesive story watching
[1:14] just one doesn't give you the full
[1:16] picture the first ending is in the 26th
[1:18] episode run of even gelion and it's
[1:20] considered the most ambiguous of the lot
[1:22] the second comes in the end of even
[1:23] gellan movie which was released a year
[1:25] after the series ended and contains
[1:27] events vital to the entirety of the show
[1:30] you cannot skip this the final ending
[1:32] comes in the rebuild movie series and to
[1:34] clear any confusion no it's not a reboot
[1:37] it's a series of four movies that in the
[1:39] beginning very lightly follow the events
[1:41] of the original anime before entirely
[1:43] steering off course it has drastically
[1:45] different plot points mood and focus
[1:48] these movies are a sequel to the
[1:49] original they are by no means a
[1:51] replacement remember that now that all
[1:53] that's cleared up let's start at the
[1:54] beginning not of the series now but
[1:56] where the story really
[1:58] begins in the beginning there was the
[2:01] first ancestrial race or far a group of
[2:04] intelligent life that inhabited an
[2:06] unknown World in our galaxy at some
[2:08] point the species faced certain
[2:09] Extinction and in an attempt to preserve
[2:12] life in the universe sent out moons
[2:14] containing seeds of life that would
[2:16] hopefully find new worlds to inhabit
[2:18] each Moon also contained a spear that
[2:20] function was to safeguard the far's
[2:22] plans to spread life it's assume they
[2:24] sent out a vast amount of moons one of
[2:26] these landing on Earth the white moon
[2:28] this Moon contained a seat of life known
[2:30] as Adam the fruit of life now Adam was
[2:32] supposed to populate the Earth with life
[2:34] but before he could another far Moon the
[2:37] black moon smashed into Earth launching
[2:39] thousands of pieces of debris into space
[2:41] creating the moon we see in the sky this
[2:43] event resulted in great changes in the
[2:45] Earth's surface and would later be given
[2:47] the title the first impact but this was
[2:49] never supposed to happen Two Moons were
[2:51] never intended to inhabit One Planet it
[2:53] was only by freak accident that the
[2:55] black moon would crash into Earth two
[2:57] life forms being created on the same
[2:59] Planet could results in the extinction
[3:00] of one through unnecessary violence
[3:03] which is counterproductive the far's
[3:05] goal of preserving life and this is
[3:06] exactly what the spears are for despite
[3:09] Adam's Moon being the first to land the
[3:11] black moon containing Lilith the fruit
[3:13] of knowledge was given priority on Earth
[3:15] most likely due to Lila spear being
[3:18] destroyed during the first impact Adam's
[3:20] spear linous would lock his ability to
[3:22] spread life thus Earth became Lil's
[3:24] domain and human life was seated
[3:27] billions of years pass as Humanity
[3:29] developed as such does their lust for
[3:31] knowledge eventually a religious
[3:33] organization known as seal whose sole
[3:35] goal is to fill the prophecy that lies
[3:37] in the Dead Sea Scrolls discovers the
[3:39] black moon in Lilith along with it
[3:41] underneath hakone Japan they build an
[3:43] underground facility around this Moon
[3:45] and launch a research division Nam gon
[3:47] to study it not too long after a
[3:49] discovery in Antarctica uncovers the
[3:52] white moon containing Adam in 2000 seal
[3:54] funds a team of scientists to study the
[3:56] beam led by a man named katsuragi misato
[3:59] father after Excavating Adam the team
[4:01] attempts a contact experiment where they
[4:03] would merge human DNA with Adam not
[4:06] quite the best idea as you would imagine
[4:07] prior to the experiment the team removed
[4:09] Adam's Spear and upon attempting the DNA
[4:12] merge reawakened it creating catalyic
[4:14] results Adam activated an anti-at field
[4:17] which is basically an EMP that affects
[4:20] humans all life forms have an invisible
[4:22] barrier around them that is their ego
[4:24] and if touched by this anti-at field
[4:26] their soul will be freed from their body
[4:28] seemingly ending their life as as a
[4:29] human so if this thing goes Supernova
[4:31] and engulfs the entire planet all life
[4:34] will cease to exist simultaneously Adam
[4:37] opens the doors of Guff which allows
[4:39] unborn souls to be brought into life
[4:41] this was all rather short-lived as the
[4:43] scientists attempted to stop this Global
[4:45] Extinction using the Spear of leness
[4:47] impaling Adam stopped his Field's
[4:49] expansion and closed the passage of Guff
[4:51] but the reset resulted in a massive
[4:53] explosion of Adam's energy manifesting
[4:55] four giant wings of light into the sky
[4:58] the entire continent of Antarctica
[5:00] perish the scientist along with it but
[5:02] not before katsuragi saves his daughter
[5:05] the massive explosion tips Earth's
[5:07] access causing the polar caps to melt
[5:09] and major weather changes to occur
[5:11] killing billions fighting breaks out
[5:13] worldwide as more and more die and after
[5:16] a year of global war only half the
[5:18] world's population Remain the UN becomes
[5:20] a major world order as only a few nation
[5:23] states still exist but during this
[5:25] period of desperation seal works in the
[5:27] shadows to secure power global by 2003
[5:30] seal controls the UN and the major
[5:33] Nations they used this influence to have
[5:35] a research team from gon retriev two
[5:37] pieces of Adam that were separated in
[5:39] the second impact one was his body which
[5:42] had regressed into an embryotic State
[5:44] the other was Adam's Soul which took the
[5:46] form of a boy that would eventually
[5:47] become known as koru Nagisa the child
[5:50] was transported to seal headquarters
[5:52] where various studies and uses would be
[5:53] made of him but the more prominent
[5:55] aspect currently is the use of Adam's
[5:57] Body which was used to create project e
[6:00] the operation that led to the creation
[6:02] of the even gelian soulless copies of
[6:05] Adam gon is tasked by Seal to develop
[6:07] project e along with Maggie's
[6:09] supercomputers their other area of
[6:11] expertise eventually Koo fuuki this old
[6:14] guy you know would be invited to join
[6:17] the org by gendo and yui shinji's
[6:19] parents Koo was originally the teacher
[6:21] of the two in college and is very
[6:24] suspect of gendo and his involvement in
[6:26] the second impact for context he left
[6:28] the expedition one day before the event
[6:30] as time passed gon made huge
[6:33] advancements in both the even gallons
[6:35] and Maggie supercomputers but the
[6:37] success came with a cost UI attempted a
[6:39] contact experiment with Eva 01 leading
[6:42] to her body and soul being absorbed into
[6:44] the be's core similarly over at Branch 3
[6:47] in Germany Kyoko soyu asa's mom lost a
[6:50] portion of her soul when she came into
[6:52] contact with Eva 02 leading to her
[6:55] losing her sanity and eventually
[6:57] committing suicide scientist naoko AGI
[6:59] completed the Maggie supercomputer
[7:01] system 6 years after the incident with
[7:03] UI being absorbed into Eva 01 at
[7:05] completion she would be confronted by
[7:07] Ray or to put it better Ray one gindo
[7:10] had been experimenting in the lower
[7:12] levels with Lilith to create a clone of
[7:14] sorts of UI he used any genetic material
[7:17] he could find of his late wife to create
[7:19] the be binding The Vessel with the soul
[7:21] of Lilith to bring her to life not too
[7:23] much different from kodo's creation the
[7:25] major difference between the two was
[7:27] that Ray was very man-made and extremely
[7:29] emotionally unstable and this led her to
[7:31] taking advantage of akagi's feelings
[7:33] towards gendo tormenting her with the
[7:35] words he thinks of you as a hag the idea
[7:38] of being called worthless by the man she
[7:39] loved enraged her and refusing to accept
[7:42] the cheap standin of his dead wife as a
[7:44] human being she killed the little girl
[7:46] realizing what she had just done akagi
[7:48] commits suicide jumping off the balcony
[7:51] onto her final creation upon discovering
[7:53] the scene gendo gives Ray a second body
[7:56] deemed Ray 2 the one we meet at the
[7:58] beginning of the series series after the
[8:00] suicide of aagi gedon was reconstructed
[8:02] into nerve with his main focus the
[8:04] furtherment of project e now the reason
[8:06] for this is due to Adam's doors of Guff
[8:09] being opened for a short amount of time
[8:11] during the second impact Souls of beings
[8:13] were able to creep out resulting in a
[8:15] new form of life becoming the main
[8:17] antagonist of the series The Angels just
[8:20] as lth created humans Adam created
[8:23] angels seal knew this day would
[8:25] inevitably happen as is stated in the
[8:27] Dead Sea Scrolls that seemingly outlay a
[8:29] majority of the events to come it's
[8:31] thought that this text comes from the
[8:33] first ancestral race how it got to Earth
[8:35] is a large mystery the seal organization
[8:38] bases their entire mission on what the
[8:40] Scrolls state it reads that the angels
[8:42] are the true successors of Earth and
[8:44] humanity is burdened by the original sin
[8:46] that being they never should have
[8:48] existed here we were a mistake only
[8:50] brought to life due to a series of
[8:52] circumstances unintentionally sentencing
[8:55] Adam's life forms to non-existence
[8:57] Seal's end game is to unite all Humanity
[9:00] as one with Lilith and Adam so they can
[9:03] become part of God what they see as the
[9:05] next evolution of existence this goal is
[9:08] deemed the human instrumentality Project
[9:10] Seal believes the plan will only work
[9:12] though if certain conditions are met the
[9:14] defeat of all Angels being one similarly
[9:16] gendo's goal is to activate human
[9:18] instrumentality but his endgame is to
[9:20] reunite with his wife also
[9:22] unintentionally fulfilling her goal
[9:24] which was to temporarily activate human
[9:26] instrumentality so that people could
[9:28] unite as one to understand each other
[9:30] then revert back to individuality it's
[9:32] obvious though that gendo's one care in
[9:34] mind is reuniting with his wife he cares
[9:36] nothing about his son or Humanity or
[9:39] what it would take for him to reach this
[9:40] goal he's not interested in what his
[9:42] wife planned out he's just a Broken Man
[9:44] afraid of human connection Desperately
[9:46] Seeking the only person he grew close to
[9:48] this results in Shinji being cast aside
[9:51] growing up feeling unwanted by his
[9:53] father he goes to live with the school
[9:54] teacher after leaving home where his
[9:56] father treated him as a waste of space
[9:58] after his mother died showing him no
[10:00] love or affection which would eventually
[10:02] lead to shinji's massive issues with
[10:05] intimacy and attachment something his
[10:07] dad had closed himself off to as well a
[10:09] few years pass as genda works with Le on
[10:11] Eva 00 a prototype Eva imbued with a
[10:13] piece of Ray Soul weeks before the first
[10:15] Angel attacks Ray is injured during the
[10:18] first attempts to Pilot Eva zero when it
[10:20] leads to a going berserk it is assumed
[10:22] that the piece of Soul inside 0000 is
[10:24] Ray Juan the one that was strangled by
[10:26] aagi it lashes out smashing the walls
[10:29] confused afraid and possibly angry
[10:31] reawaken to the pain prior to death in a
[10:33] strange world and a strange body gendo
[10:36] rescues Ray to from the pilot pod after
[10:38] the Eva loses power but she is badly
[10:40] injured knowing that the angels will
[10:42] soon come as prophesized in the Scrolls
[10:44] he knows they need a pilot but there are
[10:46] conditions to be met an even gelan pilot
[10:48] must be able to sink with the Eva to do
[10:50] this they must have some connection with
[10:52] the being more specifically the soul
[10:54] that is imbued into it as to sync with
[10:56] each other their souls must communicate
[10:58] properly this means that the perfect
[11:00] pilot for Eva 01 that holds ui's Soul
[11:02] would be her son Shinji so gendo
[11:04] contacts his son to come the nerve HQ
[11:07] Days Later sasil appears the third Angel
[11:10] firstborn of Adam he moves from the
[11:11] shores of Tokyo 3 a metropolis built
[11:14] around nerve headquarters he symbolizes
[11:17] the price of playing God something nerve
[11:19] and seal do as often as we drink water
[11:21] the military stands no chance against
[11:23] this monstrosity and command of this
[11:25] operation is quickly handed over to
[11:27] nerve which brings us to the first the
[11:29] vents of Neon Genesis
[11:31] Evangelion the Neon Genesis TV series is
[11:34] very sporadic with its storytelling lots
[11:36] of things are told out of order which is
[11:38] why the section prior to this one is so
[11:40] important in telling the entire story of
[11:42] Evangelion to know the order of events
[11:44] gives a better understanding of the
[11:46] narrative so with that in mind the
[11:48] events ahead will be placed in order of
[11:49] occurrence not necessarily by first
[11:51] appearance I divided the section of Neon
[11:53] Genesis down marking the appearances of
[11:55] angels major events as well as deep
[11:58] looks at the main characters feel free
[12:00] to use the chapter markers as a guide
[12:02] through this deep
[12:04] analysis Shinji wanders tokyo3 as he
[12:07] waits to meet misato his Handler this is
[12:10] during the offensive against Cil the
[12:12] third Angel fortunately for him she
[12:14] arrives just in time to prevent him from
[12:16] being turned into a pancake the UN
[12:17] attempts one final ditch of effort
[12:19] before Nerf takes full control and drops
[12:21] the equivalent of a nuclear bomb on the
[12:23] third Angel this is an unsuccessful
[12:25] attack and proves that the only hope for
[12:27] Humanity's survival is in the even
[12:29] gallion and equally in their pilots when
[12:32] Shinji gets to the nerve base he is
[12:33] immediately thrusted into the job of
[12:35] being a pilot initially he refuses as he
[12:38] hasn't seen one of these before now and
[12:39] barely got through half the manual given
[12:41] to him on the elevator Shinji asks his
[12:43] father who stands looming over the
[12:45] platform why he called for him most
[12:47] likely hoping that his father would show
[12:48] some kind of acknowledgement to his son
[12:50] gendo simply states he had a use for him
[12:52] but if he refuses the pilot then he
[12:54] should just leave immediately not being
[12:56] the words he had hoped to hear Shinji
[12:57] looks down at his feet wallowing the
[12:59] base Shakes as the angel has located
[13:01] their position from above and Rubble
[13:03] falls from the ceilings as it makes an
[13:05] attempt to infiltrate the underground
[13:06] nerve base Eva 01 reaches out in an act
[13:09] to protect Shinji from the debris our
[13:11] first hint that there is a strange
[13:13] connection that lies between the two he
[13:15] finally agrees to Pilot it partially out
[13:17] of desperation to be acknowledged as
[13:19] meaningful partially because of the
[13:20] safety he now feels with the Mech but
[13:22] also because he sees a badly injured Ray
[13:25] in front of him who will pilot it in his
[13:26] dead if he refuses knowing that if he
[13:29] walks away this girl would potentially
[13:31] die already suffering from major
[13:33] injuries it seems the only path forward
[13:35] for him is to
[13:38] comply being his first time in an Eva it
[13:41] would be no surprise if a pilot with
[13:43] zero experience would get their ass
[13:45] whooped by a promodal beast and this is
[13:47] exactly what happens Shinji gets stomped
[13:49] on tossed around like a doll and speared
[13:52] straight into the skull causing
[13:53] agonizing pain through shinji's own head
[13:56] the reason being the potty sits in is
[13:57] full of LCL fluid LCL comes from Lilith
[14:01] Humanity's Creator and is the same stuff
[14:03] humans are made up of although Shinji
[14:05] doesn't know that this fluid takes place
[14:07] of oxygen and allows the pilots to
[14:08] become in deeper sync with the Evas
[14:10] assisting in merging part of their souls
[14:12] for a period of time so since they're
[14:14] intertwined when the Eva takes damage
[14:16] the pilot will mentally feel the damage
[14:18] too shinji's comms are cut off as his
[14:20] Eva attains major damage and the last
[14:22] thing that can be heard are his fearful
[14:23] screams as Shinji loses control of
[14:26] himself the Eva goes berserk shedding
[14:28] pieces of it armor unveiling teeth
[14:30] underneath it jumps on ceil and rips him
[14:32] apart brutally spearing its core with a
[14:34] shattered rib sensing the certain death
[14:37] faced in this situation Cecil initiates
[14:39] a self-destruct hoping to take the
[14:41] monster before him with it but through
[14:42] the haze of ash from the explosion the
[14:45] Eva walks unscathed by the Angel's final
[14:48] attack gendo watches unsurprised by this
[14:50] development as if he knew this would
[14:52] happen and is precisely why he wanted
[14:54] Shinji to Pilot once Shinji wakes up
[14:56] from his partial coma he has absolutely
[14:58] no no memory of the evag going berserk
[15:00] when questioned about it most members of
[15:02] nerve are perplexed by this situation
[15:04] while a few remain in the no primarily
[15:06] gendo Ritu and Koo not wanting him to
[15:09] live alone misant decides to take Shinji
[15:11] as her roommate while it's a little
[15:13] vague at first it's hinted that this is
[15:15] out of a maternal Instinct but another
[15:16] way to take it is also pity she sees the
[15:18] lifelessness he projects and knows that
[15:20] piloting the Eva isn't necessarily going
[15:23] to make that any better and she feels
[15:25] partially at fault for that pushing her
[15:26] to take the boy under her wing
[15:30] it takes a while for Shinji to adapt to
[15:32] the life he lives now which is to no
[15:33] surprise it's painfully obvious that he
[15:36] suffers from extreme depression and
[15:38] holds deep rooted attachment and
[15:39] intimacy issues due to his father's
[15:41] neglect of him he hates his father but
[15:43] he also desperately wants his father's
[15:45] affection which makes him hate himself
[15:47] as well for needing it Shinji also
[15:48] thinks of himself as a coward and a
[15:50] waste of space he has begun to wall
[15:52] himself off emotionally from the others
[15:54] as he internally thinks that they will
[15:56] betray him as his father did before he
[15:58] doesn't help that his beliefs get real
[16:00] world support after a boy at school toi
[16:03] beats him up toi blames Shinji for his
[16:06] sister's injuries that were caused by
[16:08] the fighting between Eva 01 and sasil
[16:10] this sends him into a deeper state of
[16:12] depression when receiving a comment of
[16:13] the good he does as a pilot from misato
[16:15] shinji's response is that he doesn't
[16:17] feel like the good he does can be
[16:19] considered so why would his schoolmate
[16:21] beat him then this quote and one said by
[16:23] ritzo helps us understand exactly where
[16:25] Shinji stands immedately Pilots the Eva
[16:28] as it's his only existing purpose doing
[16:31] so makes things easier even if he walks
[16:33] away he'll be constantly monitored by
[16:35] nerve's secret service and he will never
[16:37] truly Escape his father's overcasting
[16:39] shadow of disappointment but if he stays
[16:42] he may just get some praise out of it
[16:44] one of his inner desires he doesn't put
[16:46] much weight on the morality of what
[16:48] nerve does at this point just does what
[16:49] he's told and that he
[16:57] does
[17:00] the fourth Angel sham shell arrives
[17:03] following in his predecessor's footsteps
[17:05] seemingly trying to enter nerve HQ why
[17:07] the Angels attempt this is uncertain but
[17:09] it's made apparent later that every
[17:11] Angel has different goals in mind some
[17:13] may instinctively fight their enemy
[17:15] neres some may want to make contact with
[17:17] Lilith and begin the third impact some
[17:19] attempt to retrieve Adam's embryo some
[17:21] try to understand Humanity itself
[17:23] whichever one doesn't really matter to
[17:25] Shinji whose sole order is the same as
[17:27] ever kill the Angel normally during
[17:29] Angel encounters the local population
[17:31] has moved to bunkers to avoid casualties
[17:34] but shinji's classmates toi and kensuke
[17:36] beside today they won't be doing that as
[17:38] kensuke is adamant of seeing an Eva
[17:40] fight an angel the Skirmish spills right
[17:42] onto the hill the two are located on and
[17:44] Shinji is ordered to move them into his
[17:46] cockpit for their safety it's inside
[17:48] here the two realize that piloting and
[17:49] Eva isn't so much the sunshine and
[17:51] rainbows the two thought would be
[17:53] attached to the fame that comes with
[17:57] it
[17:58] [Music]
[18:00] Shinji is successful in killing sham
[18:02] shell with his body for the most part
[18:04] being intact Nerf takes the corpse in
[18:06] for research which would eventually lead
[18:08] to the recreation of the angels of
[18:10] limited power source es2
[18:13] drive it's been 3 days since the death
[18:15] of the fourth Angel and Shinji has been
[18:17] missing since he's pretty much skipped
[18:19] town riding a train to its last stop
[18:21] sulking the entire way he goes to a
[18:23] local movie theater where he catches a
[18:25] glimpse of a couple making out while
[18:26] before this Shinji was dead face this
[18:28] act of intimacy seemed to have stried a
[18:30] cord with the kid to put in perspective
[18:32] imagine when you were 14 and your own
[18:34] curiosity of sexual intimacy it's
[18:36] exactly what he's going through right
[18:37] now in the meantime isato doesn't try to
[18:39] locate Shinji she knows the pain and
[18:42] price that comes with piloting and has a
[18:43] stand in for a parental figure can't
[18:45] bring herself to drag Shinji back alas
[18:47] gendo doesn't think similar another few
[18:49] days pass as Shinji is escorted back by
[18:51] nerve security where he's faced with a
[18:53] decision does he continue being a pilot
[18:55] despite wanting to run away from it all
[18:57] and all his problems or does he stay and
[18:59] continue to face his fears misato
[19:01] confronts him only to say he should
[19:03] leave if it's what he wants which sets
[19:05] him off what Shinji wanted to hear was
[19:07] her nag him for running away for days
[19:09] tell him she was worried tell him to
[19:10] stay he wants to be wanted he wants to
[19:12] be cared about he wants somebody to
[19:14] acknowledge that his existence isn't a
[19:16] waste but he doesn't get that and
[19:18] decides to leave as Shinji is escorted
[19:21] to a train out of town toi and Kens find
[19:23] him the past week toi wanted to
[19:25] apologize to Shinji for punching him his
[19:27] own sister even now agging him for his
[19:29] actions and after they saw what he goes
[19:30] through he realized that Shinji doesn't
[19:32] sit on a high horse with his status
[19:34] after that the trio builds a closer
[19:36] relationship albeit a little too late
[19:38] Shinji calls out to them before being
[19:40] escorted to the train that he isn't
[19:41] worthy of the praise they give him calls
[19:43] himself a coward a sneak it shouldn't
[19:45] care for him but the two don't see it
[19:47] that
[19:50] way as Shinji waits for the train he
[19:53] goes through his experience so far and
[19:54] questions his choice to leave isato
[19:56] finds out about the news of his depart
[19:58] departure which sets things in
[19:59] perspective for her she never really
[20:01] wanted him to leave just for him to
[20:02] choose for himself regardless of how she
[20:04] may feel she races to the station to see
[20:06] him off but it seems she's too late the
[20:09] train has left as the train passes the
[20:11] station Shinji still stands in the same
[20:13] spot as before he arrived at the
[20:15] conclusion that running away from his
[20:17] problems is not the answer and toi
[20:19] coming to make amends with him are a
[20:20] primary reason he's able to stay they
[20:22] reached a hand out to him something he
[20:24] has rarely seen misato and Shinji lock
[20:26] eyes now knowing how the other feels if
[20:29] only a little for misato hearing Shinji
[20:31] pour his feelings in the cell to her for
[20:33] Shinji misato rushing to the train
[20:35] station their bond grows stronger
[20:38] recently Shinji has become fixated on
[20:40] the relationship between his father and
[20:42] Reay not in a there's more to uncover
[20:44] here kind of way just a jealous child
[20:46] whose dad ignores him but seems to have
[20:48] a very kind and considerate relationship
[20:50] with this random teenage girl and the
[20:51] big picture we know the reason he treats
[20:53] her this way is because of the
[20:54] importance she has in his master plan
[20:57] but we're not there just
[20:59] yet the fifth angel rameel appears in
[21:02] Tokyo 3 Ray and Shinji called the base
[21:04] to be on standby for orders on the way
[21:06] Ray asks Shinji if he trust his father
[21:08] he replies with a hard no causing Ray to
[21:11] slap him for disrespecting gendo our
[21:13] first clue that Ry has a warp
[21:14] perspective of the man which is
[21:16] understandable as he is basically her
[21:18] Creator Ray is originally chosen for
[21:20] dispatch but gendo vetos this stating
[21:22] that she is not ready yet and opts to
[21:23] send Shinji instead more keen to send
[21:25] his own child to his demise Shin up was
[21:28] being the case get
[21:31] that imately struck down the instant his
[21:34] Eva surface Shinji is pulled back for
[21:36] emergency medical assistance gendo is
[21:38] not all that concerned with his
[21:40] condition and insists on fixing the Eva
[21:42] and getting Shinji stable so that he can
[21:44] go back out there misato comes up with a
[21:46] plan to overload an Eva gun with all the
[21:48] electrical energy in Japan which is put
[21:50] to use gel has begun drilling towards
[21:52] the nerve HQ core where lth lies making
[21:55] their deadline very short once Shinji is
[21:57] awake awakened Ry and he are thrown into
[22:00] position there's a small amount of
[22:01] downtime where Shinji asks Ray why do
[22:03] she Pilots an Eva her response is that
[22:05] it's all she has her one connection to
[22:08] gendo and all of humanity Shinji is
[22:10] confused by what she means by this but
[22:12] before he can get his answer the two are
[22:14] thrown into action with Ray acting as
[22:16] his shield and Shinji the Executioner
[22:18] while the first shot is met with an
[22:20] equally powerful Blast from R the second
[22:22] shot proves deadly preventing it from
[22:24] reaching Lilith marking the end of the
[22:26] fifth angel due to blocking the beam of
[22:28] light shot at Shinji Ray Eva's
[22:30] completely melted Shinji rushes over to
[22:32] her pod and pulls her out mirring the
[22:34] exact same action gendo performed
[22:36] earlier during the failed trial run this
[22:38] symbolism shows us that these two are
[22:40] similar people at least from the eyes of
[22:42] Reay they both care for her and she
[22:44] recognizes that despite her inability to
[22:46] comprehend emotions fully it's the scene
[22:48] that raised feelings of affection for
[22:50] Shinji start to
[22:52] build misato takes Shinji and his
[22:54] friends on a mission with her to
[22:55] supervise the delivery of Evo 02 too
[22:58] along with Asuka it's pilot and secretly
[23:00] transported with them is the embryo of
[23:02] Adam it's worth noting in the events
[23:04] prior to this misato and shinji's
[23:06] relationship has grown during a test of
[23:08] a nuclear powered Eva created by the UN
[23:10] who feel threatened by the control that
[23:11] seal a nerve hold in the Eva space this
[23:13] experiment goes completely wrong and
[23:15] misato takes it upon herself to climb
[23:17] into the machine and disarm it Shinji
[23:19] begs her not to saying it's too
[23:21] dangerous but she makes it clear to him
[23:23] that this is what she must do the
[23:25] nuclear explosion of the Eva unit is
[23:27] just barely of voided due to a Little
[23:29] Help From a miracle one set up to happen
[23:31] from the very beginning by nerve who
[23:32] intentionally made the Eva go Haywire so
[23:35] they could take control of the situation
[23:37] and stop it making the UN look like
[23:38] fools convincing everyone that nerve
[23:41] should stay the Monopoly of even gallons
[23:43] back to the German Waters the presence
[23:45] of Adam's embryo on the fleet draws the
[23:47] attention of gagel we can assume that
[23:49] this Angel's goal is to reunite with its
[23:52] Creator's body no one besides Kaji a man
[23:54] from isu's past who is to deliver the
[23:57] item to gend knows about its presence on
[23:59] the ship Shinji who is still trying to
[24:01] get used to asuka's loaded personality
[24:03] rides along with her as she fights gagel
[24:05] together they fight and kill him
[24:07] following the fleet's arrival to Japan
[24:09] Asuka joins the pilot ranks at nerve HQ
[24:11] she also Shacks up with misato and
[24:13] Shinji much to her complaints like it or
[24:15] not though she has to learn to cooperate
[24:17] with Shinji fast as the seventh angel
[24:19] arrives at Tokyo 3
[24:21] shores as we and all the characters know
[24:24] Asuka is a narcissist with a superiority
[24:26] complex although her reasoning for being
[24:28] this way makes it a tad understandable
[24:31] she lives with the trauma of her
[24:32] childhood which was made up of an
[24:34] Unfaithful dad who had no care for his
[24:36] insane wife and her mom whose story is a
[24:39] bit more complex asuka's mom worked on
[24:41] the Eva 02 and one day similarly to
[24:44] shinji's Mom she merged with the Eva but
[24:46] rather than being fully absorbed only
[24:48] part of her soul was taken leaving an
[24:50] unstable mind and body behind Asuka
[24:53] watched as over time her mom's sanity
[24:56] deteriorated until one day she attempted
[24:58] double suicide with her daughter ASA
[25:00] pleaded for her mom not to kill her and
[25:02] she ran away from her hospital room only
[25:04] to come back later and see her dangling
[25:06] from the ceiling she begins to develop a
[25:08] hatred towards her mom and her dad for
[25:10] both leaving her and moving on albe it
[25:12] in different ways she desperately tries
[25:14] to grow up and project strong
[25:16] Independence but despite her words
[25:18] something inside her speaks differently
[25:20] she needs others and desperately wants
[25:22] her crush on Kaji to become more than
[25:24] just a childish dream but she's just a
[25:26] kid no matter if she says
[25:34] differently one day Asuka sleepwalks
[25:36] into shinji's futon and lies next to him
[25:38] Shinji nearly kisses her succumbing to
[25:40] his desires and living up to the word
[25:42] sneak that he called himself earlier but
[25:44] he stops himself as he hears Asuka call
[25:46] out for her mom crying for the past
[25:48] several days all Asuka has been is
[25:50] difficult prideful and arrogant but in
[25:53] this moment she shows weakness she
[25:55] unintentionally shows Shinji that she is
[25:57] feelings that she doesn't show which
[25:59] makes him loath himself for trying to
[26:01] kiss her but also allows him to
[26:03] understand who she really is underneath
[26:05] her
[26:06] mask the seventh angel is a split of
[26:08] twins bolstering two cores meaning this
[26:11] angel can only be taken out in a
[26:13] choreograph dance sequence I am for real
[26:15] the first encounter with israfel leaves
[26:17] nerve a laughing stock Asuka disobeys
[26:20] order and attacks leading to isael
[26:22] splitting and whipping both Eva 01 and 0
[26:25] two's asses they're forced to regroup
[26:27] and learn sync attack over the next week
[26:29] in the meantime isfel is recovering from
[26:31] taking a nuclear charge to the face
[26:33] courtesy of the UN husa struggles to
[26:35] learn with Shinji becoming impatient and
[26:37] naturally trying to work with him as her
[26:39] equal but misant is tired of her [ __ ]
[26:41] and instructs Ray to perform the SN
[26:43] moves with perfect results this anger
[26:46] ASCA and she storms off with a hurt ego
[26:48] but this is exactly what she needed to
[26:50] take this seriously during the remainder
[26:51] of the week the two train with each
[26:53] other finally nailing the performance
[26:54] and taking down the Twin Angels
[26:56] following the hard fought battle the
[26:58] pilots are forced to stay behind of a
[27:00] school field trip on standby in case of
[27:02] an Angel attack but Shinji mostly
[27:04] expected this and so the everyday flow
[27:06] of the current
[27:07] continues an angel embryo is found in a
[27:10] pit of molten lava Asuka is called on to
[27:13] dive and retrieve it while Shinji plays
[27:15] support the task is relatively
[27:16] straightforward but on the way up the
[27:18] embryo hatches and Asuka must fight it
[27:20] oneon-one with her suit reaching its
[27:22] temperate limits with the help of Shinji
[27:24] she is able to kill Angel 8 and not
[27:26] drown in a pool of
[27:28] magma during a power outage in Nerf the
[27:31] ninth Angel attempts to invade HQ the
[27:34] outage has all the signs of a planned
[27:36] attack most likely performed by Seal
[27:38] neres parent or but one that does not
[27:40] trust them y just gives them a chance to
[27:42] obtain layouts of HQ without being found
[27:44] out despite this nerve prepares the Evas
[27:47] manually for battle while the pilots
[27:48] find their way to the launch grounds
[27:50] with a choreographed attack the three of
[27:52] them are able to kill Madel before he
[27:54] invades the base during the fight Asuka
[27:56] takes a defensive task which is used to
[27:58] show her growth as a person normally all
[28:00] she would do is go for the glory and be
[28:02] the one who performs the kill shot most
[28:04] of this growth comes from the
[28:05] conversation the three had prior on
[28:07] their way to the base Asuka verbally
[28:09] attacks Ry who she believes is the
[28:11] favorite which is a position that Asuka
[28:13] is jealous of as she too like Shinji
[28:16] wants to be needed by others Ray
[28:17] responds saying she isn't more favored
[28:19] and she knows that all too well this to
[28:22] me implies that she knows that the only
[28:23] reason gendo is warm to her is because
[28:25] he needs something of her the fact that
[28:27] she even says this shows she's grown
[28:29] from the day she slapped Shinji for
[28:31] disrespecting his father as she is
[28:32] comfortable saying something that has a
[28:34] bad connotation of genda Shinji also
[28:37] asks the girls what they think the
[28:38] angels are he shows a desire to
[28:40] understand them and why it is they have
[28:42] to kill them especially if they're given
[28:44] the same name as messengers of God Asuka
[28:46] de misses his worries using the old its
[28:48] kill or be killed statement which
[28:50] doesn't really resonate with Shinji and
[28:52] it's something he continues to fight to
[28:54] understand throughout the
[28:56] story the 10th Angel arrives just in
[28:59] time for mis's promotion to Maj you
[29:01] Sahel is a tricky one to fight as the
[29:03] angel floats in the stratosphere far
[29:05] above the eve of fighting range the
[29:07] angel bombards the Tokyo 3 area
[29:09] seemingly learning how to properly aim
[29:11] before descending downwards at break
[29:13] neck speed in a suicide charge that will
[29:15] completely level the entire city knowing
[29:17] of this imminent danger misato asks the
[29:19] kids to do the most Reckless plan
[29:21] they've done yet which is to literally
[29:23] catch the angel to stop the impact then
[29:25] impale it they are asked to write a
[29:27] still given the danger of the mission
[29:28] they all agreed to to which they
[29:30] declined sure of themselves and trusting
[29:32] a mis's plan on their way to the Evas
[29:35] Shinji asked Asuka why she Pilots her
[29:37] response is that she wants to prove
[29:39] something to the world when asked why he
[29:41] does Shinji can't find an answer waiting
[29:44] for the operation to begin Shinji
[29:46] reflects on a conversation he had with
[29:48] misato where he asks her why it is she
[29:50] joined nerve after thinking about it she
[29:51] came to the conclusion that it was to
[29:53] avenge her father despite the hate she
[29:55] felt for him for neglecting her and her
[29:56] mother and only caring about work which
[29:58] led to an eventual divorce her despise
[30:01] was conflicted through his actions
[30:02] during the second impact when he saved
[30:04] her leaving her unsure of how she feels
[30:06] about him in some way she feels if she
[30:08] destroys the Angels it will free her of
[30:10] the memory of her father and the
[30:12] sacrifice he made for her in the end it
[30:14] seems that misato wants to unburden
[30:16] herself from emotional attachment to her
[30:18] father and until she does she must plant
[30:20] her feet and pursue the end this
[30:22] conversation makes Shinji realize
[30:23] something about himself he's constantly
[30:25] fighting the urge to run away from his
[30:27] father piloting intimacy and all his
[30:30] other fears but despite that he stays he
[30:32] continues to Pilot he continues to make
[30:34] improvements he continues to form bonds
[30:36] his desire to stand his ground gives him
[30:38] new found strength the three
[30:40] successfully stop and kill sahak quel
[30:42] the 10th
[30:45] Angel the 11th Angel is possibly one of
[30:48] the most unique a virus that attacks and
[30:50] spreads into the nerve Magi
[30:51] supercomputer system attempting to
[30:53] overtake the entire Mainframe and
[30:55] initiate a self-destruct of the entire G
[30:57] front compound Adel is outsmarted by
[30:59] arito who recodes her mother's system to
[31:02] trick the angel into killing itself
[31:04] ending its March Of Terror as seal
[31:07] questions gendo's actions during recent
[31:09] events Ray has become more and more
[31:11] ominous of a figure for us we know that
[31:13] there are multiple versions of her but
[31:15] for Shinji and the others none of this
[31:17] is known during a test involving Shinji
[31:19] and Eva 00 the mech goes berser once
[31:21] more attacking the glass and showing
[31:23] sheer Agony Nito was confident that the
[31:25] Eva was trying to attack her through the
[31:27] class and she would be right as Shinji
[31:29] saw before the Evo went berserk a ray
[31:31] swam towards him at least mentally
[31:33] speaking or evidence that Ray Juan's
[31:36] piece of Soul has been used to bring
[31:37] this Eva to life it seems that Ray one
[31:39] when first sinking with a pilot seizes
[31:41] control like this and flails about
[31:43] almost like it's coming back from its
[31:45] final moments of being strangled by noo
[31:47] which is precisely why it attempts to
[31:49] attack her daughter who looks very
[31:50] similar when it is first awakened when
[31:52] shinshi regains Consciousness just like
[31:54] the berserk fight with sasil he
[31:56] remembers nothing making R's story even
[31:58] more perplexing she seems to know that
[32:00] there's something different of her
[32:01] questioning the nature of her existence
[32:03] reaching full existentialism she wonders
[32:05] the what who's and wise of herself
[32:07] Humanity her place in it all and keep in
[32:09] mind she knows what she was created to
[32:11] do by gendo way before it shared with us
[32:13] Ray does not share information or many
[32:16] feelings for that matter with anyone we
[32:17] can see on her face she's developed a
[32:19] love for Shinji the type of love it is
[32:21] is rather complex being a part of the
[32:24] soul of Lilith Humanity's Creator and
[32:26] genetically mother the two have a
[32:28] relationship closer to siblings than
[32:30] lovers Shinji is the Catalyst for Ray
[32:32] questioning these things he gives life
[32:34] to her world she begins to question
[32:36] gendo question what he made her for and
[32:38] question what it is that makes her her
[32:40] despite this she still does gendo's
[32:42] bidding moving the Lance of less to L's
[32:45] crucified
[32:46] [Music]
[32:49] body Kaji has been working on an
[32:52] investigation of Nerf for the Japanese
[32:55] Department of Home Affairs there susp
[32:57] suspicious of what nerve is really
[32:58] conducting and he has been tasked with
[33:00] infiltrating and discovering their
[33:01] secrets it's known to us that gendo and
[33:03] Koo both know that Kaji is working for
[33:05] someone else but they make no efforts to
[33:07] stop it while they may have no need to
[33:09] hide their secrets seal may feel
[33:12] otherwise Kaji has dugged up at The
[33:13] maduk Institute the committee that
[33:15] supposedly picks the suitable candidates
[33:17] of Evangelion Pilots is a sham company a
[33:20] front to hide the fact that nerve
[33:22] themselves chose the pilots and all the
[33:23] suitable candidates are handpicked from
[33:25] class 2A class in school it's assumed
[33:28] the reason for putting all the possible
[33:30] pilots in this class is to keep them
[33:32] safe and on hand if they need them
[33:34] they're all possible fourth children
[33:35] which the children title being given to
[33:37] each successive pilot to answer your
[33:39] question on why the word children is
[33:40] used instead of child no this isn't a
[33:43] translation error when Ry was picked
[33:45] first she was never one child there was
[33:47] clones of her so they used the title
[33:48] children to imply that not wanting the
[33:50] Clone situation to be known though nerve
[33:52] used children as the go-to title to hide
[33:55] that fact besides figuring out that Duke
[33:57] doesn't exist Kaji also uncovers lilth
[34:00] body and the terminal dogma of nerve HQ
[34:03] he shows this to misato who warns him if
[34:05] he keeps digging he'll get himself
[34:07] killed but he seems unfaced by this he's
[34:09] solely interested in uncovering the
[34:11] truth and he warns misant that REO and
[34:13] gendo are keeping secrets from her which
[34:15] she doesn't take lightly the reason
[34:17] these two have such a trust in one
[34:18] another despite how Shady Kaji would
[34:20] look from an inside perspective of a
[34:22] major nerve employee is because of their
[34:24] shared past throughout College these two
[34:26] were passionate lovers but after
[34:27] graduating misat broke the relationship
[34:30] off her reason being that she was
[34:31] frightened of how much he reminded her
[34:33] of her father she ran from him out of
[34:35] fear relating herself to Shinji in the
[34:37] way she acted to then kiss say the
[34:39] obvious feelings are still there but so
[34:41] is misato's trauma just like Shinji she
[34:44] runs from her problems she hides behind
[34:46] Pleasures specifically alcohol and sex
[34:49] they provide her an escape from her
[34:50] emotions a sight of her she despises
[34:52] because it shows just how weak she
[34:54] really is misato isn't the only girl
[34:56] that has feelings for Kaji Asuka still
[34:58] holds a major crush on him that deep
[35:00] down she knows will never be
[35:02] reciprocated despite this she can't help
[35:04] but feel a certain way towards him she
[35:05] also feels a certain way towards Shinji
[35:07] and as the two sit alone passing time
[35:09] till misato gets home she asks Shinji if
[35:11] he wants to kiss reluctantly he agrees
[35:14] but as they kiss Shinji shows a lack of
[35:16] emotion over
[35:17] [Music]
[35:18] the very long kiss ASA feels embarrassed
[35:22] by his reaction and attempts to cover up
[35:24] her true feelings by acting like she
[35:25] hated it drowning her rejection by
[35:27] loudly gurly mouthwash Kaji brings
[35:29] misato home putting her to bed and Asuka
[35:32] can smell misato's perfume on him
[35:34] symbolizing to her that the two are back
[35:36] together leaving her with two strikes in
[35:38] a night when it comes to
[35:41] romance Shinji has overtaken Asuka and
[35:44] the syn test tests run often to check
[35:46] how Pilots are in tune with their Evas
[35:48] meaning that Shinji has a higher sink to
[35:50] his mother and Eva 01 allowing for
[35:52] better performance this aners Asuka who
[35:55] as we know must be better in everything
[35:56] or she runs the risk of becoming
[35:58] emotionally unstable moments later a
[36:00] strange optical illusion like ball
[36:02] appears above Tokyo 3 deemed the 12th
[36:04] Angel well it may seem that l l is the
[36:07] strange ball it is in actuality the
[36:09] shadow cast on the ground the ball in
[36:11] the sky is its projection the pilots do
[36:13] not know this immediately and after
[36:15] being haggled by Asuka for having a
[36:16] higher score Shinji rushes into action
[36:18] becoming engulfed in the lel's pocket di
[36:21] menion a deadline for the operation
[36:22] emerges if they can't get Shinji out
[36:24] within 16 hours the Eva's life support
[36:27] will run out and he will die beo
[36:29] prioritizes the recovery of Eva 01 over
[36:31] shinji's life and decides they'll blow
[36:33] the entire pocket Dimension up to
[36:35] implode the angel this angers misato and
[36:37] she slaps the scientist and is removed
[36:40] from command of the operation for being
[36:41] too emotionally involved this marks the
[36:43] beginning of her spiral of distrust in
[36:46] nerve as a whole inside LEL Shinji is
[36:49] contacted by the angel who has taken an
[36:51] interest in the pilot LEL takes on the
[36:54] form of shinji's younger self asking him
[36:56] why he lives for only bits of praise and
[36:58] blinds himself of the things that cause
[37:00] him pain directly telling him he cannot
[37:02] go on living like that Shinji becomes
[37:04] angry shouting why is it so bad to live
[37:06] like this if it makes him happy he's
[37:08] forced to relive moments he's avoided
[37:10] the times he's ran from the bad afraid
[37:12] of being hated he thinks that since he
[37:14] already hates himself why would anyone
[37:16] think differently moments before his
[37:17] death his mother's Soul reaches out to
[37:19] him Sheltering him protecting him
[37:22] despite losing all power the Eva once
[37:24] more becomes berserk
[37:32] while Shinji recovers a nerve base in
[37:34] Nevada instructed with recreating the S2
[37:36] engine for Eva use completely implodes
[37:39] unsure of the cause America Forks Eva 03
[37:42] over to nerve HQ in Japan not wanting to
[37:44] lose their other American Branch to a
[37:46] similar issue meanwhile gendo and reito
[37:48] have been at work on a dummy system to
[37:50] be installed into Eva 03 and 02 these
[37:53] systems will be able to control the Evas
[37:55] just like the pilots but re points out
[37:57] that there are many errors and they are
[37:59] imperfect but gendo doesn't care the
[38:00] dummy systems are installed into the
[38:02] Evas as fallbacks except 03 it's too
[38:05] risky to use a dummy in the first
[38:06] startup so a new pilot must be chosen
[38:09] thanks to the information we received
[38:10] from Kaji we know that the nerve will
[38:12] actually be the ones picking the four
[38:13] children and we also know that it will
[38:15] be coming from shinji's classmates when
[38:17] toi shinji's friend is the one picked
[38:19] nanto is initially surprised by that
[38:21] coincidence which Kaji quickly makes
[38:23] clear that it isn't one and informs her
[38:25] about Muk and the canid for
[38:28] Pilots once toi is informed that he will
[38:30] be piloting Eva 03 he becomes kind of
[38:33] somber about the whole thing it's a
[38:35] mixed bag of emotions on one hand his
[38:37] sister will get the best medical care
[38:39] and hopefully make a better recovery
[38:40] after being injured in the battle
[38:42] between sasil and Eva 01 at the same
[38:44] time he's seen the pain and sorrow that
[38:46] Shinji has experienced piloting it's not
[38:48] an easy task to be demanded of toi
[38:50] decides not to share this information
[38:52] with anyone the only reason Asuka and
[38:54] Ray find out is Word of Mouth but no one
[38:57] not even miso wants to tell Shinji that
[38:59] toi's been
[39:02] picked the day comes for Eva 03 to be
[39:05] started up while the transport carrying
[39:07] the Eva flies through a cloud a strange
[39:09] spark is seen entering the unit once the
[39:11] Eva arrives toi is put in for startup
[39:13] only it goes horribly wrong Nerf tries
[39:16] to cut power to the unit but it doesn't
[39:17] work the entire station implodes and out
[39:20] of it walks an
[39:24] angel the 13th Angel has an infected Eva
[39:27] 03 and marches towards Tokyo 3 the pilot
[39:30] cannot be ejected out of the unit but
[39:32] regardless the trio are tasked with
[39:34] killing the Eva all of them are hesitant
[39:36] to fight it both Ray and Asuka knowing
[39:38] toi is inside and Shinji ignorant to
[39:40] this fact but conscious of someone being
[39:42] inside Eva 02 is taken out before being
[39:44] able to react to 03s movements 00
[39:47] hesitates to shoot 03 which results in
[39:50] its arm getting infected gendo orders
[39:52] for the arm to be severed despite Ray
[39:53] still being sync to the Eva resulting in
[39:55] her feeling the the mental anguish of
[39:57] losing her arm with only Shinji Still
[39:59] Standing he is forced to engage the Eva
[40:02] despite being ordered to kill the
[40:03] machine he refuses to while the pilot is
[40:05] still trapped inside gendo is tired of
[40:07] his child's morals and activates the
[40:09] dummy system which seizes control of 01
[40:12] the system breaks hero 3's neck and
[40:14] begins to crush its skull Shinji cries
[40:16] out for his father to stop but gendo
[40:18] just sits there watching desperately
[40:20] Shinji tries to seize control back of
[40:22] the Eva being forced to watch as it
[40:24] tears apart 03 LM from limb the nerve
[40:27] agents watch on in horror Shinji screams
[40:29] out in desperation for his father to
[40:31] stop this as 01 grabs the pilot
[40:42] plug Shinji sits in his cockpit
[40:45] overlooking Belle's mutilated husk
[40:47] finally tells him who the fourth pilot
[40:49] is just as he sees toi pulled from the
[40:51] wreckage of 03 barely alive he loses it
[40:57] the events of this cause Shinji to have
[40:58] an emotional outrage directed majorly at
[41:01] his father's cold indifference of the
[41:03] matter they shut down his Eva to stop
[41:04] him from leveling the complex and when
[41:06] he wakes he decides he's leaving ner toi
[41:09] is presumably evacuated a little after
[41:11] waking up although he did lose a leg he
[41:14] is still alive thankfully in shinji's
[41:16] absence ziel the 14th Angel appears
[41:19] preventing his train from leaving Asuka
[41:21] and Reay are no match for its raw
[41:23] strength with one blow it penetrates 18
[41:25] of the 22 layers of armor between the
[41:28] Surface and neres geofront HQ they
[41:30] attempt to put Ray on Eva 01 but it
[41:32] rejects her and the dummy plug as well
[41:34] seeming to no longer answer to anyone
[41:36] Asuka is thrown into a fight with zel to
[41:38] which her rifle and Rocket rounds have
[41:40] no effect zel responds by severing her
[41:42] arms leaving Asuka in crippling Agony
[41:45] isato gives the order to cut the sink
[41:46] between 02 and Asuka just as the unit's
[41:48] head ised
[41:50] off the head of the evil lands in the
[41:52] shelter Shinji was located in to his
[41:55] horor questioning his decision de ision
[41:56] not to Pilot again he stumbles upon Kaji
[41:58] who is watering his garden he asks him
[42:01] what he's doing here it seems his work
[42:03] investigating nerve has come to light
[42:04] and he has been blacklisted from the HQ
[42:07] during combat operations so he came to
[42:09] his garden as if it's time that he dies
[42:11] this is where he wants to be Ray charges
[42:13] the angel in a suicide attack which
[42:15] fails horribly as Shinji watches on in
[42:17] teor Kaji tells him that there is
[42:19] something he and only he can do while he
[42:21] is helpless to prevent the third impact
[42:23] in the entire human race from ending
[42:25] Shinji however unfair the burden may be
[42:28] has that weight on his shoulders and he
[42:30] must make the decision if this is where
[42:31] it all ends so he doesn't have
[42:34] regrets when he gets to nerve the angel
[42:37] has already made its way inside HQ
[42:39] demands his father lets him pilot 01
[42:41] zerel nearly annihilates the nerve team
[42:43] only to be saved by the Eva Shinji takes
[42:46] the fight to the surface his Eva losing
[42:47] an arm in the process just as he almost
[42:50] rips the Angel's Face Off his unit loses
[42:52] power he pleads his Eva to move his
[42:55] desperation and will not to let any more
[42:57] people die activates the Evo once more
[42:59] going berserk the sink rate passes 400%
[43:03] and awakens it to a new existence the
[43:05] being rips off the Angel's arm melding
[43:07] it as their own taking flesh like form
[43:10] 01 jumps onto the angel begins to devour
[43:13] its body along with its S2 engine giving
[43:16] the Evangelion fo unlimited power
[43:18] becoming the first complete Eva said to
[43:20] be equal to God more of the armor that
[43:23] acts as restraints for the Beast that
[43:25] lies underneath our shed and Eva 01 how
[43:28] into the night all is going according to
[43:33] plan eventually the berserk Eva is
[43:36] contained but Shinji is seemingly
[43:38] absorbed into the beast non-existent in
[43:40] the pilot plug NCO assures misat that he
[43:43] specifically his soul is still in the
[43:44] Eva plug and all they need to do is
[43:46] assist him in returning to form a whole
[43:48] month goes by as this process is
[43:50] attempted during so Shinji is on a
[43:52] mental trip exploring his hatred for his
[43:55] father and his feelings of desertion but
[43:57] on the other side he is also the one who
[43:59] ran away from home in the end to escape
[44:01] the pain he felt being neglected so is
[44:03] he at fault too he asks Ry who seems to
[44:05] be his mental guide why it is that
[44:07] others are nice to him he assumes it's
[44:09] because he Pilots the Eva and that his
[44:11] reason to stay alive is he must win for
[44:13] others the weight of his responsibility
[44:15] as a pilot overtakes him as he screams
[44:18] out for people in his life to be nice to
[44:20] him the reply received
[44:22] is Shinji is constantly struggling with
[44:25] self worth and his only relief is from
[44:27] others praising him but it never fills
[44:29] that void he always needs more there's a
[44:31] hole in him and instead of trying to
[44:33] fill it himself he relies on others to
[44:35] make up for it but it's only temporary
[44:37] he himself must confront and solve these
[44:40] issues which is why immediately
[44:42] following we see a pre- instrumentality
[44:44] conversation about becoming one with Rey
[44:47] Asuka and misato a teas to us and to
[44:50] Shinji that something lies ahead
[44:52] something that is promising to make
[44:53] Shinji whole while experiencing this
[44:55] Shinji rejects the nerve team's attempt
[44:58] to bring him back he's posed with the
[45:00] question what is it that you wish for
[45:02] before being thrust out of this
[45:03] instrumentality Haze and regaining
[45:05] awareness that he himself both body and
[45:08] soul is still in the Eva he tries to
[45:10] understand why he would pilot again when
[45:12] he explicitly stated he would not to
[45:14] where a mental image of misato makes him
[45:16] recall his choices that he has piloted
[45:19] the Eva that he is the person he is now
[45:21] because he piloted the Eva he cannot
[45:23] deny the self he has been so far which
[45:25] is his past but as for his future that
[45:28] is something he must decide for himself
[45:30] the past has happened and will always of
[45:32] happen he cannot change what he has
[45:34] chosen to do but he can decide for his
[45:36] future what he will do next this
[45:38] conversation forces Shinji to recognize
[45:40] himself all of himself allowing him to
[45:43] be born a new if he wills it so as he
[45:45] makes his way back to form he pushes
[45:47] towards a light a symbol of his mother's
[45:49] Soul this whole scene referencing his
[45:51] rebirth as a human misato who was in
[45:53] deep grief under the assumption that
[45:55] shin was lost is relieved to see him
[45:57] return a few days later the vice
[45:59] Commander Koo is kidnapped by Seal who
[46:01] are very angry that Evo 01 has absorbed
[46:04] an S2 engine as it wasn't what was
[46:06] prophesized in the Dead Sea Scrolls at
[46:08] least part they were privy to Cojo dumps
[46:11] major Exposition on them of the behindth
[46:13] scen scoop of the second impact much of
[46:16] the stuff mentioned in the prean Genesis
[46:18] section of this video Kaji later sneaks
[46:20] in and rescues the commander who
[46:22] comments that what he's doing will lead
[46:24] to his death once more Kaji states he
[46:26] does not fear this only wanting to reach
[46:28] the truth behind nerve and seal plus he
[46:31] adds seal was about to discover that he
[46:33] was the one who brought Adam to gendo
[46:35] which would lead to his death either way
[46:37] it's assumed that Kaji was given all the
[46:39] information kjo was privy to and not too
[46:41] long later he meets an offscreen
[46:43] character one that would become his
[46:45] killer yet all he does is offer a smile
[46:47] to
[46:50] him it's assumed the murderer was a
[46:52] member of seal who were angered with his
[46:54] Disobedience and rescuing of Koo misant
[46:57] finds out about his death indirectly
[46:59] after receiving a voicemail from him
[47:01] saying everything but that he would be
[47:02] facing imminent death she puts the
[47:04] pieces together and drops in a sob
[47:06] knowing the man she loves is gone Shinji
[47:08] finds her in the kitchen crying her eyes
[47:10] out and he returns to his room and
[47:12] covers his ears simply saying that there
[47:13] was nothing he could do or say Nerf and
[47:16] seals seem to be preparing for a major
[47:18] initiative the reduction of Evangelion
[47:20] units 5 through 13 have begun in seven
[47:23] different countries without the
[47:24] permission of Nerf obviously seals use
[47:26] of power while Huga thinks this is a
[47:28] preparation for a large scale Angel
[47:30] attack nanto knows there's ulterior
[47:32] motives at play ASA is facing severe
[47:34] mental distress as her meaning for
[47:36] existence piloting the Eva is in
[47:38] Jeopardy her SN rate is drastically
[47:40] declining due to her mental instability
[47:42] caused by her constant losses and
[47:44] shinji's successes she's angry and her
[47:46] narcissism is turning on her she hates
[47:48] that Shinji is so close to Ray she hates
[47:50] misant for loving Kaji she hates her
[47:53] parents for being so flawed and most of
[47:55] all she hates herself for being the way
[47:56] she is and all this emotional buildup
[47:58] could not come at a worst
[48:01] time Adel the 15th Angel appears before
[48:05] nerve Asuka and Ray are tasked to handle
[48:07] it with shinji's sideline because the
[48:08] chance of Evo 01 being infected by the
[48:11] angel is too great a risk Asuka disobeys
[48:13] command and takes point in the operation
[48:16] to which a long stalemate due to ael's
[48:18] unreachable height in the sky is ended
[48:20] with the angel projecting a beam of
[48:22] light towards Eva 02 straight into
[48:25] asuka's mind the beam causes great
[48:27] mental stress as she is forced to live
[48:29] the absolute worst parts of her
[48:31] childhood her mother's suicide her
[48:33] painful youth despite the possibility of
[48:35] permanent damage to her mind she refuses
[48:37] to pull out wanting to die rather than
[48:39] be defeated with no way to kill the
[48:40] angel on hand the team can only watch as
[48:43] Asuka has a complete mental
[48:48] breakdown Zer 2's life support reaches
[48:51] critical levels and gendo decides that
[48:52] they should use the Spear of linous Koo
[48:55] digresses is knowing to seal this item
[48:57] is needed for the prophecy of the Dead
[48:59] Sea Scrolls to be completed a gendo has
[49:01] a different path ahead in mind and
[49:02] getting rid of the spear is vital Ray
[49:04] hurls the spear towards Adel killing it
[49:06] and the spear is lost in lunar orbit
[49:08] Asuka is safe but has lost her
[49:11] will as a 16th Angel approaches Tokyo 3
[49:15] gendo's use of the spear has angered
[49:17] seal who are seriously considering the
[49:19] possibility that genda will betray them
[49:21] they State there will be a warning sent
[49:22] to him to keep him in line Reay is sent
[49:24] to attack the Angel which results in a
[49:26] standoff until they can understand the
[49:28] location of its core Armel makes the
[49:30] first move and Dives straight into the
[49:32] Eva attempting to fuse with Ray he
[49:34] sought to launch his Eva 02 to assist
[49:36] Ray but as asuka's syn level has reached
[49:38] single digits she is no longer capable
[49:41] of piloting the unit inside Ray's mind
[49:43] Armel makes contact with her the angel
[49:45] questions Ry about the feelings inside
[49:47] her heart which Ry recognizes as
[49:49] loneliness Armel responds that she too
[49:52] is lonely she creates a growth that
[49:54] takes shape of all all Angels before it
[49:56] possibly trying to resurrect them to
[49:58] cure her own loneliness Ray on the other
[50:00] hand begins to cry for the first time
[50:02] gendo immediately orders Eva 01 to
[50:05] resume operation and be launched in a
[50:07] desperate attempt to rescue Reed Asuka
[50:08] takes note that gendo refused to do the
[50:10] same for her when she was in danger
[50:12] against Adel and Falls further into
[50:14] despair Shinji engages the angel as it
[50:16] takes the shape or shapes of Reay a
[50:19] large white ray attempts to merge with
[50:21] shinji's Eva Ray recognizes this as her
[50:23] heart's desire to be one with Shinji she
[50:26] refuses to let it take him and
[50:27] heroically contains the angel within
[50:29] herself and self-destructs resulting in
[50:32] armas's death as well as her
[50:37] own Shinji is devastated by Rey's death
[50:40] yet can't seem to cry misato attempts to
[50:42] give him Comfort but Shinji retracts
[50:44] from her like she attempted to make a
[50:46] pass on him soon after misato finds out
[50:48] that somehow Reay alive and Shinji goes
[50:50] to meet her though she has no memory of
[50:52] self-destructing to save him but leaves
[50:54] him with some troubl
[50:57] words EO looks over an image of her mom
[51:00] and gendo focusing finally on gendo's
[51:02] face a symbol of like mother like
[51:04] daughter she too has fallen for the man
[51:06] she calls Shinji to meet her and misato
[51:09] follows here ritzo makes clear to both
[51:12] of them the truth behind Ray the clones
[51:14] and tubes before them are mere dummies
[51:16] lacking the soul that is in the real Ray
[51:18] Ray three at this point these are merely
[51:20] parts of her vessels in the case of the
[51:21] one she has becoming unusable but none
[51:24] of this is of her own will the soul of
[51:25] Lilith was extracted and forced into
[51:28] bodies genetically made of yui shinji's
[51:30] mom gendu attempted to create people
[51:31] from Adam creating the even gelion in
[51:34] his experimentations he was only able to
[51:36] produce One Soul Reay which would be
[51:38] used in the Clones of UI since there's
[51:39] only one the rest of the bodies remain
[51:41] soulless just like the crude Recreations
[51:44] of Adam only Souls within those beings
[51:46] are those taken from perished humans the
[51:48] remains of the failed Evas lie in the
[51:50] pits here at nerve HQ and Rito makes it
[51:52] a graveyard for raised clones too
[51:54] killing every last one of
[51:57] them this was done out of spite anger
[51:59] towards gendo who she feels she lost to
[52:02] Ry the man she loved cared none for her
[52:04] she was a tool one he would sleep with
[52:06] used for gain and toss aside she hated
[52:09] him but loved him all at the same time
[52:11] meanwhile Ry attempts to remember why
[52:13] her tears seem so familiar to her as
[52:15] they fall off her cheeks while she looks
[52:17] at gendo's glasses atas she never
[52:20] arrives at an
[52:24] answer Tokyo 3 lies in craters shinji's
[52:28] friends have left town both in various
[52:30] States toi lost a leg and gained a lot
[52:32] of mental trauma kensuke Envy for
[52:34] shinji's role as a pilot and privy to
[52:36] seeing their class fall apart falling
[52:38] into a depressed state asuka's
[52:40] depression spirals out of control
[52:41] leaving her a mere husk of a being by
[52:43] the time nerve can find her Reay off
[52:46] contemplating her rebirth in emotional
[52:48] turmoil isato is left unsure of What
[52:50] bond she has anymore as every
[52:52] relationship around her shatters and
[52:53] breaks nitco has has lost any will of
[52:56] living and only holds anger for gendo as
[52:58] he looks over the ruins a boy named kou
[53:00] interrupts his train of thought
[53:02] introducing himself as the fifth
[53:04] children koru fills the whole nerve
[53:06] created by asuka's mental spiral and his
[53:08] existence is ominous described the best
[53:11] his SN rate is incredibly high for no
[53:13] explanation and he hints to Reay he
[53:15] knows her true nature seeing that they
[53:17] are one and the same both taking the
[53:19] form of a Lin AKA a human as they
[53:22] inhabit Earth the word lillin derives
[53:24] from Lilith creator of humanity soan is
[53:26] used to describe his children the fact
[53:28] that he knows information like this
[53:30] directly implies what you are all
[53:31] thinking kodu or tabes is an angel and
[53:35] is Adam's Soul at that he's the third
[53:37] angel that makes up a trifecta of their
[53:40] attempt to understand the human race
[53:42] arel attempts to interpret asuka's mind
[53:44] Amel Rays tabis Shinji koru separates
[53:49] himself from the others he doesn't
[53:50] attempt to understand them through a
[53:52] mental attack but instead through basic
[53:54] human Interac action communication the
[53:56] two become very close in a short amount
[53:58] of time Shinji feels he can open up and
[54:00] be honest to him his original wall of
[54:02] intimacy and affection with others is
[54:04] bypassed he's even able to reciprocate
[54:06] the words I love you to him during the
[54:08] bath scene kodu makes it clear to Shinji
[54:10] that he understands what he's doing by
[54:12] avoiding connecting with others he's
[54:14] trying to prevent himself from feeling
[54:16] pain from being betrayed it's the past
[54:18] experience that's led him to be this way
[54:20] in ka's words fragile like glass but as
[54:24] long as he stays this way he will always
[54:26] be lonely something every character in
[54:27] Evangelion struggles with koru makes it
[54:30] clear that no human can completely
[54:32] banish lonel because to be human we are
[54:35] alone separated by bodies of Flesh this
[54:37] is what it means to be an individual but
[54:39] as humans we have that ability to forget
[54:41] loneliness even just for a bit when we
[54:44] connect with others Shinji stays the
[54:45] night with Karu when he opens up about
[54:47] his life before he join Nerf and the
[54:49] hatred he feels for his father Kaoru
[54:52] expresses to Shinji that maybe he was
[54:54] born to meet him to allow him to feel
[54:55] what it means to fully connect with
[54:57] another very philosophical and hopeful
[54:59] perspective Nerf has become gendo's
[55:01] personal play thing and seal is afraid
[55:03] of what he might do they are under the
[55:05] assumption that he attends to activate
[55:07] the instrumentality project for his
[55:08] personal gain which is precisely on
[55:11] point gendo's selfish plans are to use
[55:13] Adam's Body now imbued in his hand to
[55:15] activate the project and reconnect with
[55:17] UI the consequences of this on Humanity
[55:20] means absolutely nothing to him seal
[55:22] instructs kodu to begin instrumentality
[55:24] before gend can completing their will
[55:26] they believe that Humanity born of the
[55:28] black moon housing Lilith have absurd
[55:30] the natural order where the children of
[55:31] Adam were supposed to flourish they did
[55:33] instead seal believes that Humanity
[55:35] should become one with God Lilith Adam
[55:38] and the children of Adam the taboo
[55:40] combination of two species to them this
[55:42] is the proper evolution of existence to
[55:44] them this is the proper way of things to
[55:47] combine all into one this is human
[55:50] instrumentality isato stumbles Upon A
[55:52] troubling finding it seems that kodu can
[55:54] manipulate his SN rate with Evangelion
[55:57] at will it's heavily implied the reason
[55:58] he can do this is that he and all
[56:00] Evangelion except unit 01 which houses a
[56:03] human soul are children of Adam an
[56:05] exception of this rule is currently Eva
[56:07] 02 since asuka's mother's Soul has
[56:10] withdrawn itself in response of the
[56:12] psychological trauma inflicted on her by
[56:14] Adel it can be controlled like any other
[56:16] Eva with that in mind kodu activate 02
[56:19] marking the beginning of the end Shinji
[56:22] is ordered to take 01 and stop Co before
[56:25] he reaches lth in terminal Dogma in
[56:27] anguish Shinji calls out to his friend
[56:30] insisting he betrayed him just like his
[56:32] father did before as Shinji fights
[56:34] asuka's unit kodu comments on the human
[56:36] Race's use of Evangelion to fight other
[56:38] adom based life forms in a desperate
[56:40] attempt to survive they put their hope
[56:42] and trust in the very enemy that
[56:44] threatened their existence you can't
[56:46] seem to understand this Shinji attempts
[56:48] to attack hodu whose at field simply
[56:50] negates the attempts he explains to
[56:52] Shinji that the at fields are really
[56:54] just the inner wall we all possess the
[56:56] wall between the you and the me it's a
[56:58] physical manifestation of our boundaries
[57:00] as individuals and with that expose he
[57:03] severs any connection from outside their
[57:05] conflict shutting down all of nerves
[57:06] monitoring kodu approaches the crucified
[57:09] Lilith calling it Adam he contemplates
[57:11] to himself if it is the duty of those
[57:13] born of Adam to return to Adam even if
[57:16] it cost the destruction of an entire
[57:18] species but this line of thought is
[57:20] interrupted by the realization that this
[57:22] being before him is not Adam but leth
[57:25] he's been deceived by Seal Shinji
[57:27] defeats 02 and grabs tab's small human
[57:30] body he begs codu to tell him why why
[57:32] would he betray him his response is that
[57:34] it was his Destiny to survive even at
[57:36] the cost of humanity but ju supposed to
[57:38] this is an ulterior route he could also
[57:41] die his thought process here makes
[57:43] perfect sense given his name as an angel
[57:45] tabis angel of free will and his last
[57:48] will is to be granted death Only One
[57:50] race angel or lillin can survive and be
[57:53] granted a future and kodu has judged
[57:56] that Shinji is not a being that should
[57:58] die he thanks Shinji glad to have met a
[58:00] human like him and Shinji performs his
[58:03] final
[58:05] [Music]
[58:11] wish after kulu's death Shinji is
[58:14] severely distraught he finds him at the
[58:16] same place he met the angel he asserts
[58:18] to her that kodu was the better person
[58:20] he was the first person to say he loved
[58:22] Shinji and he loved him too he was like
[58:24] him and like gray and he was the one
[58:26] that deserved to live isata tries to
[58:28] assure Shinji he did the right thing it
[58:30] was necessary for Humanity to survive
[58:32] but she's met with Shinji exclaiming
[58:34] that she's a cold being
[58:37] heartless finally mustering up the
[58:39] courage to visit OA in the hospital
[58:41] Shinji pleads with her to help him to
[58:43] comfort him call him an idiot like she
[58:45] always does anything but she's deep in a
[58:47] medical coma following her starv State
[58:49] and his cries can't reach her he becomes
[58:51] increasingly panicked shaking her until
[58:54] her gown open opens revealing her bare
[58:55] chest Shinji then proceeds to masturbate
[58:58] to this right then and there an
[58:59] absolutely deplorable action and he
[59:01] feels the exact same way we perceive him
[59:03] after while there is no excuse for his
[59:05] actions as will be a prominent theme
[59:07] moving forward is Shinji struggle with
[59:09] his sexuality he loses control of his
[59:11] impulses and doesn't understand what
[59:13] these feelings are where they come from
[59:15] and what he's supposed to do with them
[59:16] all he knows is that they make him
[59:18] afraid of women in intimacy and
[59:20] deplorable even to himself seal has had
[59:22] enough of gendo's [ __ ] he's way off
[59:24] Court from their original plan and they
[59:26] no longer trust him to execute human
[59:27] instrumentality in their image they
[59:29] launched a Cyber attack on nerves Maggie
[59:31] system and attempts of shutting down
[59:33] their system and ability to fight gendo
[59:35] pulls ritzo out of the brri to deal with
[59:37] this and despite his betrayal of her she
[59:39] defies all logic and helps ward off the
[59:41] attack unsure herself why she's even
[59:43] doing this with the failure of the Cyber
[59:45] attack seal launches a full scale
[59:47] offensive bombarding the bases exterior
[59:49] armor and sending in Special Forces to
[59:51] begin The Invasion misato takes control
[59:53] of the operation knowing that if SE
[59:54] finds the pilots they will kill them
[59:56] with no hesitation she sends asuka's
[59:58] body in eva02 to hiding while she
[59:59] attempts to locate Shinji Ray has been
[60:01] called upon by gendo as it's finally
[60:03] time to execute his plan Shinji on the
[60:05] other hand sits underneath the staircase
[60:07] doing absolutely nothing his suppression
[60:09] becoming crippling misato rushes in
[60:11] killing the three officers who intend to
[60:13] execute Shinji she attempts to drag him
[60:15] to Eva 01 but he's gone limp refusing to
[60:18] move wanting death wanting nothingness
[60:20] he's reached a state worse than at the
[60:22] start of his time at nerve he's
[60:23] experienced torture amounts of loss and
[60:25] it's left him broken misato is pissed
[60:27] that he's given up on everything
[60:29] including himself and drags him along
[60:31] with her meanwhile asuka's at her mental
[60:33] Breaking Point desperately pleading to
[60:35] live as she's bombed by Seal forces
[60:37] who've dropped an equivalent of a
[60:38] nuclear bomb on top of nerve exposing
[60:41] the underground geofront to the sky but
[60:43] instead of completely snapping Asuka has
[60:45] an epiphany she has the realization that
[60:47] her mother has always been watching over
[60:48] her from within the Eva like a guardian
[60:50] angel this gives her an insurmountable
[60:52] increase in morale and strength her Eva
[60:54] syn rate returning as she fights off the
[60:56] entire seal army with their military
[60:58] outmatched by 02 they resort to sending
[61:01] in the mass-produced line of even gelion
[61:03] nine monstrosities that seal had various
[61:05] Labs work to put together much like the
[61:07] dummy plugs that use raise soulless
[61:09] clone bodies and place of a pilot these
[61:11] Evas use plugs of codu they share
[61:13] absolutely nothing in common with the
[61:15] angel of Free Will despite looking like
[61:17] doves a common symbol of peace and hope
[61:19] these killing machines are Primal able
[61:21] to regenerate heads and limbs that Asuka
[61:23] lops off and unlike her these Evas have
[61:26] a replicated S2 engine completed by seal
[61:28] giving them unlimited power knowing that
[61:30] if Asuka doesn't get help before her
[61:32] power drains she will die misato
[61:34] desperately tries to get Shinji to Eva
[61:36] 01 in the process of escorting him to
[61:38] the Launchpad elevator she's mortally
[61:40] wounded knowing she doesn't have that
[61:41] much time left she pleads with Shinji to
[61:43] make a choice he insists he's worthless
[61:45] incapable of doing anything but hurting
[61:47] or killing others while piloting the Eva
[61:49] he's done terrible things and he did
[61:51] something horrible to Asuka in the
[61:53] hospital he can't stand the sight of
[61:54] himself and it's holding him back from
[61:56] making any choices he's afraid of the
[61:58] possibility he might hurt or let down
[62:00] someone again Shinji exclaims to her
[62:02] that she doesn't understand what he's
[62:03] going through frustrated misato pulls
[62:05] Shinji against the wall telling him to
[62:07] choose she too makes mistakes tons of
[62:09] them and just because he's made mistakes
[62:11] doesn't mean he can't move forward she
[62:13] pleads with him to Pilot the Eva to end
[62:15] things and find out why it is he came
[62:16] back to nerve in the first place she
[62:18] gives him her necklace and kisses him a
[62:20] kiss pleading for Action is it also
[62:22] somewhat romantic that's heavily debated
[62:24] but what I am sure is that this kiss was
[62:26] a push from misato to get Shinji moving
[62:28] to shove him into a choice just like she
[62:30] shoves him into the elevator as Shinji
[62:32] ascends misato slumps onto the ground
[62:34] minutes left of life she calls out taji
[62:36] wondering if she did the right
[62:38] [Music]
[62:41] thing Shinji knows full well that misato
[62:45] will not make it another day confirmed
[62:46] by the blood on his lips left from her
[62:48] kiss his little burst of movement to get
[62:50] to the Eva is wasted as when he gets
[62:52] there it's coated in a hard ooze
[62:54] confronts gendo and Ray in terminal
[62:56] Dogma as he tries to merge with Lilith
[62:58] she intends to kill them all
[63:00] self-destructing the entire base through
[63:01] a force code but turns out the Maggie
[63:03] system rejects the command it seems even
[63:05] in death Rito's mother refuses to kill
[63:07] the man that they both fallen in love
[63:10] [Music]
[63:14] with Asuka desperately holds the Evas
[63:16] off unable to defeat them as they
[63:18] regenerate continuously in her final
[63:20] seconds of power she's speared by a
[63:22] replica of the Spear of Linus destroying
[63:24] the Eva's chance of fighting and her own
[63:26] eye in the process the Evas pick her
[63:28] apart like vultures tearing out her
[63:30] insides Asuka manages to summon an ounce
[63:32] of strength to enter berserk mode but
[63:35] it's too late just cut down once
[63:40] more all Shinji can do is sit there
[63:42] helpless to lend her a hand listening to
[63:44] her screens his Eva senses his torment
[63:47] and pulls itself out of its cocoon
[63:49] summoning a crazy amount of energy it
[63:51] takes flight on wings of lightning alas
[63:53] it's too late Shinji looks to the sky to
[63:55] see the mutilated corpse of asaz Eva
[63:57] being carried away he loses
[64:06] it shinji's psyche has reached full ego
[64:09] death he has lost every ounce of mental
[64:12] stability which marks the beginning of
[64:13] instrumentality The Binding of All Souls
[64:16] Ry has sensed this causing her to reject
[64:18] gendo and his wish to use her to merge
[64:20] with Lilith to see his wife UI once more
[64:22] she rejects being his puppet almost as
[64:24] if shinji's absolute Terror snapped her
[64:26] out of the cage gendo made in her mind
[64:28] she alone merges with Lilith taking the
[64:31] embryo of Adam from gendo and creating a
[64:33] Godlike being capable of granting a boy
[64:35] a wish she shares with in the skies
[64:37] above Shinji has been strung upon a
[64:39] cross by the mass produced Evas the
[64:41] original Spear of Linus being summoned
[64:44] by his extreme emotional response to
[64:46] asuka's mutilation the MP Evas create a
[64:48] vast anti-at field explosion in gulfing
[64:51] Japan with Ray returning back into l the
[64:54] body and soul becomes one once again
[64:56] Lilith takes Ray's form presenting
[64:58] itself to Shinji seeing her in front of
[65:00] him like the shattered Shinji ego
[65:02] leaving him barely anyone anymore the
[65:04] mass-produced Evas merge with Ray
[65:06] sprouting mini Evas all over in a
[65:08] horrific Series in attempts to Cal
[65:10] Shinji lilis Sprouts his second torso
[65:13] that of kodu the person Shinji holds
[65:15] dear the most with the connection of the
[65:17] fruits of life and knowledge in better
[65:19] terms both a pure soul of Lilith being
[65:21] Shinji and his mom and pure body of Adam
[65:24] that of the Eva the Spear of less merges
[65:26] with 01 and Shinji forming the Tree of
[65:29] Life the source of All Souls inside the
[65:31] tree Shinji is told by Lilith that the
[65:34] ray before him represents his heart his
[65:36] deepest desire to save Ray Lilith Ray
[65:38] speaks to him stating that the fate of
[65:40] humanity lies in his hands and he's once
[65:42] more
[65:47] asked now this is the point where the
[65:49] final two episodes of Neon Genesis and
[65:52] the movie merge into one the series
[65:53] ending takes a much more internal deep
[65:55] look into Shinji psyche with a more
[65:57] happy light-hearted last note the movie
[66:00] a more visual look at the ending with a
[66:01] much more serious and realistic final
[66:03] moment both exist simultaneously in
[66:06] terms of timeline but convey a very
[66:08] different tone we'll be combining both
[66:10] Shinji stands before Lilith who intends
[66:12] to understand shinji's intentions and
[66:14] help him understand what those are as
[66:16] well he's faced with misato Ray and
[66:18] Asuka three of the most important people
[66:20] in his life with their bodies gone they
[66:22] see all of each other for better and For
[66:24] Worse Shinji is disgusted by misato's
[66:27] lust for sexual pleasures that she uses
[66:29] to distract her from herself Asuka
[66:31] berates Shinji for jerking off to her
[66:33] telling him to stay clear of her at the
[66:35] same time though expressing feelings of
[66:36] want for him and yet saying he'll never
[66:39] understand her Shinji interjects saying
[66:41] he tries but she never talks to him or
[66:43] opens up Ray only intervenes to call out
[66:45] shinji's lies asking him if he has ever
[66:47] really tried to understand them in
[66:49] response he throws a fit like a child
[66:51] asking for attention for them to look at
[66:53] him and to be nice to him he singles out
[66:55] Asuka and tells her that he loves her
[66:57] but she harshly rejects him pushing him
[66:59] to the ground telling him he's never
[67:00] loved himself that anyone will do
[67:03] anybody to fill the void in his heart he
[67:04] pleads to her to save him to help him
[67:07] but she stands above him giving him a
[67:09] flat
[67:12] [Music]
[67:15] no Shinji strangling the girl he loves
[67:19] signifies his futility with Humanity
[67:21] he's given up on it and everyone should
[67:22] just die he feels betrayed unwanted as
[67:25] he wishes to never exist Ray or Lilith
[67:28] questions him countering every word from
[67:30] his mouth if nobody cares about you what
[67:32] is your hand for to reach others as
[67:34] you've done before if nobody cares if
[67:36] you exist what is your heart for to
[67:38] reach out to another as you've done
[67:39] before if it'd be better if you never
[67:41] existed then why would you be here to
[67:43] begin with he reaches out to the void
[67:44] and asks if it's okay for him to be here
[67:47] but he's just meant was
[67:52] silence it's been decided that all
[67:54] Humanity will perish as Shinji rejects
[67:56] individuality he's failed to reach inner
[67:58] peace within himself he's afraid of the
[68:00] pain unable to confront his own demons
[68:02] therefore he cannot hope to understand
[68:04] that others struggle with their own
[68:05] issues so certain that nobody
[68:07] understands what he's going through all
[68:08] humans transform to their original form
[68:10] LCL basically Lilith juice their souls
[68:13] return to the black moon that delivered
[68:15] Lilith to Earth as the deity watches
[68:17] over the process before everyone appears
[68:20] the person they treasure most to escort
[68:22] them into instrumentality gendo on the
[68:24] other hand meets a different fate yui
[68:26] appears before him asking him why he was
[68:28] so afraid of Shinji he responds saying
[68:30] that he believed nobody could love him
[68:32] that he doesn't deserve to be loved a
[68:34] typical Hedgehog dilemma both he and his
[68:36] son face he believed that the closer he
[68:38] let others in the more he would hurt
[68:39] them and the more he himself would hurt
[68:41] so he did the exact opposite rejected
[68:43] others so that he and the ones he loved
[68:45] could never be hurt ironically hurting
[68:47] them in the process regardless very
[68:49] selfish
[68:50] [Music]
[68:52] dilemma
[68:54] [Music]
[68:55] instrumentality is complete all are one
[68:58] and with all being one nobody is anybody
[69:00] Shinji becomes unsure if this is the
[69:02] existence he wanted on this form
[69:04] Humanity completes one another and no
[69:06] one can be hurt but this existence is
[69:08] fundamentally Hollow reaching this
[69:10] conclusion Shinji musters the resolve to
[69:12] reject instrumentality he accepts that
[69:14] life is difficult that there's chances
[69:16] to be hurt or hurt but there's also a
[69:18] chance to connect with one another
[69:19] despite this and that's beautiful Shinji
[69:22] is confronted by Ray and Co who asked
[69:24] him if he sure he wants to go back to an
[69:26] existence with pain fear and sadness he
[69:29] responds saying he doesn't mind despite
[69:32] being somewhere he can't feel
[69:34] instrumentality feels wrong the two seem
[69:36] to understand Shinji asked them why it
[69:38] is they are both in his heart the soul
[69:40] of Adam and the soul of lth the response
[69:42] to him is that they are the hope that
[69:44] one day people will understand each
[69:45] other for him they represent the words I
[69:48] love you Shinji accepts the fact that
[69:50] there's a chance he will be betrayed and
[69:52] abandoned by the ones who speak the
[69:53] these words to him but he finds peace
[69:55] with that because at the time his
[69:57] feelings were real as could theirs
[69:59] Lilith Ray's body crumbles with shinji's
[70:01] rejection of instrumentality allowing a
[70:03] Gateway for souls to return to the world
[70:06] if they so choose Shinji lies on a near
[70:08] empty beach only populated by himself
[70:11] and Asuka at the time it seems they are
[70:13] the only two that have rejected
[70:18] [Music]
[70:22] instrumentality
[70:24] coming out of the days that was
[70:26] instrumentality seemed to have triggered
[70:28] shinji's distrust towards Asuka
[70:30] following the conversation he had with
[70:31] her during their confrontation of each
[70:33] other as Souls despite this though Uka
[70:36] reaches out her hand touching shinji's
[70:38] face showing pure affection towards him
[70:40] for the first time this snaps Shinji out
[70:42] of his action releasing her once more
[70:44] he's hurt the one he loves once more he
[70:47] cries realizing the room he still has to
[70:49] grow but to be human is to fail to be
[70:52] terrible and to learn from your mistakes
[70:54] and shortcomings to self-improve these
[70:56] two are human once more with all the
[70:58] good and the bad that come with it Asuka
[71:00] comments on shinji's instincts leaving
[71:02] the phrase disgusting as the final words
[71:04] uttered of the series one that's
[71:06] importance in the series is heavily
[71:08] debated what do they mean I think it's
[71:10] rather simple enough faced with their
[71:11] own flaws and faults once more on a
[71:13] post-apocalyptic a beach Nothing Better
[71:15] Could describe
[71:19] it in simple terms even gellan is a
[71:22] story about man's struggle with God
[71:24] technology and Humanity's experience of
[71:26] both Joy and Pain human instrumentality
[71:28] was just man trying to banish loneliness
[71:30] and all their types of pain we experienc
[71:32] we struggled against ourselves to
[71:34] realize this goal some relying on God to
[71:36] guide their path others using Tech to
[71:38] forge their own both were used in
[71:40] immoral ways something that happens all
[71:42] too often in today's society when ano
[71:44] created even gelan he faced serious
[71:46] depression later finding success in
[71:48] understanding what he was going through
[71:50] from a friend's helping hand he said
[71:52] many times that this series was his way
[71:53] of expressing his inner feelings it was
[71:56] his Escape how he ran from his anxiety
[71:58] and fear something everyone does in
[71:59] Evangelion in their own ways this anime
[72:02] can be interpreted in hundreds of
[72:04] different ways there's a heavy Reliance
[72:05] on imagery and implicit storytelling
[72:07] hints and references the story Owen
[72:09] sprinkled throughout the series this
[72:11] video here is just my interpretation of
[72:13] Events maybe you think differently and
[72:15] that's okay but that's not to say we're
[72:17] done yet the rebuild movies are still a
[72:18] part of the story to tell one that was W
[72:21] into existence by ano several years
[72:23] later later there's so much to cover in
[72:24] these movies and how they've tied into
[72:26] the timeline that I think it's best to
[72:28] give it its own video if you want to see
[72:30] that let me know I'll work on it right
[72:32] away I deeply value the experience of
[72:34] watching this show more than I can
[72:36] explain in words it's such an amazing
[72:38] series one worthy of your watch if you
[72:40] haven't already and don't worry you'll
[72:42] enjoy it even if you know what's coming
[72:44] thanks for watching
[72:50] [Applause]
