This is how "EVANGELION: DEATH" was meant to be done.
ANTARCTICA, 2000 A.D.
You mean the super solenoid theory that Dr. Katsuragi proposed?
That theory is just too radical!
It's nothing more than a hypothesis at this point.
But only the S2 theory can explain that giant's power.
Mr. Ikari and his team are apparently leaving on the 11th.
I wish they'd set up the smoking area a bit closer.
We don't even need to measure it to know it's true.
I heard there was talk of making the entire facility smoke-free.
In fact, it existed in our reality,
You should be glad there is one.
So we have no choice but to acknowledge it.
If they'd done that, I wouldn't be here.
I'll accept it when all the data's been verified.
Scientists put too much faith in their own ideas.
What about the Spear of Longinus?
They're a self-righteous kind.
It's been sitting there
They become fixated too easily.
since it was shipped here last week from the Dead Sea.
They're incapable of accurately assessing reality.
It will be treated before it's sent underground, won't it?
And they are the ones seeking to find the truth.
Are we okay on that?
The contact experiment with the donor
It's quite ironic.
is scheduled for the 13th of next month.
They are not so noble.
We'll be able to make the adjustments in time.
Discovery is joy and understanding is dominance.
Today's experiment is on the ego threshold signal of that field, was it?
All they seek is self-gratification.
Suppress the surface radiation!
It's over the projected limit!
Emergency situation! Emergency situation!
The DNA that was inserted into Adam is already physically fused!
All staff, get in your protective gear.
All workers in Level 2 and below,
immediately evacuate to the upper area of Central Dogma.
All AT Fields are being released.
The Spear! Pull the Spear back!
It's no good! We can't maintain the magnetic field!
It's sinking in!
I don't care if it only makes a small difference!
Keep the damage to an absolute minimum!
The atomic components are breaking up at the quark level! Hurry!
Begin thermal dampening treatment as soon as the Chamber of Guf opens.
Amazing! It's begun to walk!
I don't care if it's only for point one seconds!
Get it to use up as much of its anti-AT Field energy as possible!
The conversion system has already been set!
Countdown commencing!
It's spreading its wings!
It's breaking towards the surface!
Father?
15 Years Later...
she was held by a man.
Ritsuko must think I'm pretty shameful.
Appearing to give in to our sexual desires makes for a more realistic appearance.
It's a good deception.
To deceive the Intelligence Department?
Or the Commander and Ritsuko?
Or me?
No. I meant myself.
Don't you mean the others?
You never show interest in others,
but you want their attention.
You really are just like my father.
9 Months Earlier...
he was watching the stars.
So, tomorrow I'll be in Japan.
Misato said she'll come to pick me up at noon.
Man, I guess this is going to be goodbye for a while.
That's so boring.
Once you get to Japan, I'm sure you'll have lots of new boyfriends.
In fact, I heard the Third Child is a boy.
I don't care about any stupid little kid!
My heart belongs to you, Kaji.
7 Years Earlier...
she ran into a room.
Mama! Mama! They chose me!
I'm an elite pilot, chosen to protect all of mankind!
The best in the world!
I must keep this a secret, but I'll only tell you, Mama!
Everybody's so nice to me now. I don't feel lonely anymore!
Everything will be okay even without Papa around!
So, we won't be lonely anymore!
So Look! Look at me!
Hey, Mama!
Can you hear me, Asuka?
Your sync ratio has dropped an entire 8 points.
Don't think about anything else. Just concentrate!
I'm doing it!
Asuka's synch rate has been on a downward trend lately.
It's problematic, considering our tight situation.
Let's concentrate our efforts on fixing Unit 00.
Commander, Good morning. Did you bring your child today?
Oh wait, I could have sworn you had a little boy.
This isn't Shinji.
I've decided to take care of the child of an acquaintance.
Her name is Rei Ayanami.
Rei, hello!
5 Years Later...
she met him again.
It's no use.
So, us meeting was impossible after all?
It can't be helped. I'll go to a shelter.
I mustn't run away.
I mustn't run away!
Several Months Later...
he was forced to make a decision.
Thank you, Shinji.
Kaworu... why?
It is my destiny to live forever,
though my survival will destroy the human race.
However, it is possible for me to be killed,
and whether I live or die makes no difference to me.
Death is the only absolute freedom.
What? Kaworu.
I don't understand what you're talking about, Kaworu.
This is my final request.
Now, erase me.
Otherwise you will be the one destroyed.
The form of life chosen to escape the time of annihilation and to obtain the future can only be one.

Truth is, I moved to this city just recently too!
Hey, come in.
Uh... I...
Excuse me for the intrusion...
Shinji, this is your home now.
I'm... I'm home.
Welcome home!
Who is she?
The only survivor of the research team.
She hasn't said a word in almost two years.
How terrible...
She saw Hell first hand.
Her physical wounds could be healed,
but repairing the psychological damage could take time.
Her name is Katsuragi...
Misato?
Yup! Misato Katsuragi. Pleased to meet you!
Dear Mother,
I have just become acquainted with a girl named Katsuragi.
I understand she is the sole survivor from the original research team.
She used to be mute, but now she talks so much.
It seems like she's trying to make up for lost time!
Do I want to be good?
I have to be a good girl.
Because I have no daddy.
Because I have to be good and not bother my mommy.
Life just doesn't get any better than this!
But I don't want to become like my mom.
Don't you want to eat? It's pretty good, even if it is instant.
When my father is not here, she always cries.
I'm sorry, I'm just not used to it.
I can't cry. I can't be spoiled.
That's no excuse! You can't be so finicky.
Maybe my father won't hate me if I am good.
No, that's not what I... well...
But I hate my father.
Isn't this nice?
And I hated being a good girl.
I hate it.
Having dinner with somebody else!
I'm tired of it.
Uh, yes.
Oh, Misato's the person who was with me there before you.
I didn't really like her. Her life style is a little bit much.
Misato Katsuragi.
She's not a bad person.
So much has happened since I came here.
Before this, I lived with my teacher.
It was calm and boring in those days.
I wasn't really doing anything.
But I was fine with that.
There was really nothing that I had to do.
I didn't have anything to live for.
Did you hate people?
I didn't really care as much.
However, I really hated my father.
I wonder why Shinji agreed to pilot again.
It seems that he simply does what he's told to do.
I suppose that's just his way of getting through life.
Position target in the center, pull the switch.
I mustn't run away.
I mustn't run away!
Today the fourth Angel attacked out of the blue.
Unit 01 intercepted the Angel and destroyed it.
Shin-chan's Room ♥
Shinji, wake up!
How long are you going to avoid school?
Unit 01 is already completely repaired.
You're the pilot, are you going to leave it sitting there?
Shinji?
"To Misato Katsuragi"
It's been raining for the past 4 days in a row.
Work on the sample analysis has been postponed due to the weather.
Other than that, nothing else to write about today.
Today the sun finally came out for the first time in a while.
But over all it was partly cloudy.
Nothing else to write about today, too.
I like it out here at night,
because those noisy cicadas don't chirp.
It was pretty quiet when I was a kid, but there are tons of them now.
Misato said that the ecosystem was returning to its former state.
Hmm... Misato did?
I really envy you.
You live with such a beautiful woman,
and you get to pilot the Evangelion.
The Eva is on standby.
Will you pilot it? Or won't you?
You're not going to scold me for running away?
Of course you're not. I'm a stranger to you.
If I say that I won't pilot Unit 01, what are you going to do with it?
I suppose that Rei will do it.
You won't pilot it?
It seems a little bit unrealistic for you to force everything on her.
Don't worry, I'll pilot it.
But you don't want to do it.
Of course not.
It's not something that comes to me naturally.
But, Ayanami, Misato, Ritsuko and...
Cut it out!
This has nothing to do with any of us!
If you don't like it then get out of here!
Just forget all about Eva and us and go back where you came from.
We don't need someone with that attitude here!
Of course, if you're leaving, we'll have to leave this city soon.
But we can't blame you for that!
We saw how you suffered in the Eva.
And anyway, if anyone does try to blame you,
I'll beat them up!
I'm the one who deserved to be beat up!
I'm a coward! I'm dishonest.
I'm sneaky and a wimp.
Shinji, you mustn't run away.
Not from your father, and most of all not from yourself.
Are you sure about this, Shinji?
I don't mind living alone.
Anywhere is the same.
It's awesome! The buildings are growing!
Of course, if you're leaving, we'll have to leave this city soon.
But we can't blame you for that!
We saw how you suffered in the Eva.
And the city you protected.
I forgot to tell you something.
You did something very good and very noble today.
You should be proud.
Goodnight, Shinji.
Hang in there.
We believe that mental and physical exhaustion...
were causing a strain on the Third Child's health.
He was given 4 days leave.
His status has returned to normal. No further problems.
I'm... I'm home.
Welcome home!
Good morning, Ikari.
Good morning!

Mama...
You're just a kid yourself.
Hello, Misato!
How have you been?
Just fine. Goodness, you've grown!
Uh huh! And my figure's filled out, as well.
Let me introduce you.
This is the designated pilot of Eva Unit 02, the Second Child.
Asuka Langley Soryu.
Arrogant...
egotistical...
conceited...
freaky...
self absorbed...
twisted...
cold hearted...
schizophrenic...
"Baumkuchen"...
unsympathetic...
self-centered...
totally absurd...
and just plain annoying!
Are you afraid of involving with other people?
If you don’t get close to others, you’ll never be betrayed
and you’ll never hurt each other.
But you’ll also never be able to forget your loneliness.
Humans can never banish their loneliness for good,
because Humans are alone.
But humans are able to go on with their lives because they’re able to forget it every so often.
Humans constantly feel pain in their hearts.
Because the heart is so sensitive to pain, humans also feel that to live is to suffer.
What do you think about Shinji Ikari?
He's boring.
That was the great Third Child? What a disappointment.
Yet his sync ratio was well over 40% in combat with no training.
Sync ratio zero.
Hey, Third Child!
I can't be the Second Child anymore.
You're coming with me.
Unit 02 is red... I didn't know that.
Unit 00 and Unit 01 were the prototype and test type models.
The fact that Unit 01 synchronized with an untrained pilot like you...
is proof of that.
However, Unit 02 is different!
It's been built for combat.
My Unit 02 is the world's first real Evangelion!
Production model!
What was that?

Shinji!
Guten morgen!
G-Guten morgen...
Hey, why so gloomy this early?
This is the gorgeous Asuka greeting you!
Look a little more happy about it.
The other one's here too, right?
Who?
Are you stupid?
I'm talking about the First Child, of course!
Oh! Ayanami!
Hello!
You must be Rei Ayanami, right? The pilot of the Prototype.
I'm Asuka. Asuka Langley Soryu.
I'm the pilot of Eva Unit 02. Let's be friends!
Why?
Because it'd be convenient, in lots of ways.
If I'm ordered to, I will do it.
Weird girl...
How are their coordination drills going?
As you can see...
It's obvious!
I could never sink down to Shinji's level!
The whole idea's impossible!
Rei?
Yes?
Why don't you try it?
I have no reason left to live.
Nobody cares about me anymore.
I am not a doll.
Synchrograph minus 12.8.
It's barely over the starting indicator.
That's terrible! That's a worse score than yesterday!
Asuka's not feeling well today. It's the second day of her period.
Sync ratios aren't influenced by physical changes.
The problem lies deeper in the unconscious.
Asuka's pride has been badly damaged.
It's hard to blame her after she was defeated so badly.
What's worse is that she feels as if she was beaten by Shinji.
If you don't open your mind, the Eva will not move.
Are you saying that I'm closing my mind to it?
Yes. Evas have their own mind.
That doll?
You should know that.
Fancy you starting up a conversation! Maybe tomorrow it will snow!
What!? Are you that happy that I'm having trouble with my Eva?
Don't worry. When the next Angel comes,
our invincible master Shinji will ride out and destroy it!
We won't have to do anything!
Oh well, I thought it was bad when Shinji was nice,
but when an emotionless mechanical doll like you starts being sympathetic...
I've really lost my edge.
I am not a doll.
Shut up! You do anything you're ordered to!
You'd kill yourself if Commander Ikari told you to, wouldn't you?!
Of course.
Good morning.

Hey, Chief! What are you staring at so intently?
Nothing!
Could it be... Ayanami?
T-That's not it!
Looks pretty suspicious to me!
Ayanami's breasts!
Ayanami's thighs!
Ayanami's...
...calves!
It's nothing like that!
Then what were you looking at?
You can't fool us!
I was just wondering why she's always alone.
Come to think of it, she hasn't had any friends
since she started here in the Seventh grade.
You two are both Eva pilots, right?
You ought to know her better than any of us, Shinji.
Yeah, that's right!
But we don't speak to each other.
She's a nice girl, but she's like your father.
She's not very adept...
Not adept at what?
Living.
Excuse me...
Excuse me! It's me, Ikari.
Ayanami, I'm coming in.
Are these Ayanami's?
Um... I...
Oh no! I-I didn't mean...!
Will you get off?
What is it?
Uh, well, I was asked to...
you know, so I...
What was it? The card! Your card! It's been, uh, renewed.
So I was asked to deliver it.
I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
Aren't you afraid of piloting Unit 00?
Why?
I heard that you were hurt pretty bad in an earlier experiment.
I was just wondering if you were ok.
Aren't you Commander Ikari's son?
Don't you have faith in your father's work?
Of course not! How could I ever trust him?
Ayanami...
Tomorrow at 00:00 is the start of
Operation Yashima. I'm here to brief you on the timetable.
Pilots Ikari and Ayanami will arrive at the Cage by 17:30.

I don't feel like eating anything.
We will be departing in 60 minutes.
Do I really have to pilot Eva again?
Yes, you do.
I don't want to.
I don't want to go through it again.
Then why don't you stay in bed?
Stay in bed?
I will pilot Eva Unit 01.

You're very strong, Ayanami.
I have nothing else.

Don't say that...

Don't say such sad things!
Why are you crying?
I'm sorry.
I don't know how I should act at a time like this.
I think you should smile.
Ayanami?!
It doesn't matter. I'll go.
Without a rifle?!
If I die, there are replacements.
Does she mean to blow herself up?!
Rei!

A dream?
Yeah. Don't tell me you don't dream?
We must finish this before Seele has time to act.
It is not acceptable to lose Unit 02 at this time.
But you can't use the Spear of Longinus
without getting Seele's approval!
You can rest today. We'll take care of everything.
But I'm feeling fine now.
Really? That's good.
Rei! Evasive action!
Rei Ayanami. Age 14.
The first of the test subjects chosen in accordance with the Marduk Report.
The First Child.
Designated pilot for the Evangelion Unit 00.
Her past has been eradicated.
All her personal records have been erased.
Target invasion continuing!
Launch, ok?
Eva Unit 02, lift off.
What are you doing, Asuka? What's wrong with Unit 02?!
Her sync ratio is under 10%!
Asuka!
It won't move!
I will go in Unit 02.
Pain?
No, it's different.
Loneliness. Yes, this is loneliness.
Am I the one crying?
Rei!
I want Evangelion Unit 01 taken out of cryostasis.
Launch it immediately.
Do it!
Yes, sir.
You didn't launch him when it was with me.
Spread your AT Field to full. Get Rei out of there now!
Right!
It smells like Ikari.
Ikari!
Is this my heart? Does it want to become one with Ikari?
No!
Her AT Field's been reversed!
I can't. If I leave Unit 00, the AT Field will disappear.
I will not let it.
Rei, are you trying to kill yourself?
12 Years Earlier...
The same weather day after day.
Somehow the disappearance of autumn
makes this country seem more melancholy.
If the scenario described in Seele's secret Dead Sea Scrolls is correct,
then the Third Impact will occur in a little over ten years from now.
That's why they created Seele and Gehirn...
to stop that from happening.
I support your ideas, but not Seele's.
Professor Fuyutsuki,
it will be very dangerous to open that seal upon the world.
I have already handed the data over to Ikari.
It's not something that can be accomplished by an individual after all.
There won't be a repeat performance of the stunt I pulled earlier.
And I've sort of received a warning.
Getting rid of me couldn't be easier for them, it seems.
The same goes for all the survivors.
It's a simple thing to destroy people.
That's why you shouldn't become the next test subject.
Everything has its place in the flow of life.
That's why I'm a member of Seele.
For Shinji's sake.
It's been three years since we were last here.
That's when I ran away.
I haven't come back here since then.
I just don't believe that my mom is really resting here.
I don't even remember her face.
Burying memories is man's way of surviving.
But there are some things a man should never forget.
Yui taught me that.
I come here to confirm that.
You don't have a picture of her?
No. This tombstone's ornamental.
There was no body.
That's like my teacher said. You threw everything away.
Everything is kept in my heart. That's good enough for me.
5 Years Earlier...
The night before she died,
my mother told me that the Magi were the three aspects of her life:
Herself as a scientist,
herself as a mother,
and herself as a woman.
Those three aspects of her are struggling for dominance inside the Magi.
She intentionally implanted the dilemmas that humans have.
You've always been so cool and analytical about these things.
Aren't you afraid you'll lose your chance at happiness?
Happiness is even harder to define.
Well, it’s been a long time since I've gone drinking.
Goodnight.
What are you doing here, Rei.
I got lost.
Oh, really? Do you want to come with me then?
No need.
But how will you get back all by yourself?
That’s none of your business, you old hag.
What?
I can find my way home by myself. Leave me alone, old hag.
You shouldn't call someone an "old hag".
But you are an old hag, aren't you?
I'm getting mad. Commander Ikari will scold you for this.
The Commander is the one who calls you that.
What?!
He says, "That old hag is annoying. That old hag is no use anymore."
That old hag is annoying. That old hag is no use anymore.
That old hag is no use.
The Commander says that about you.
You!
E-Eva has reactivated!
Amazing.
This is impossible. It must be wrong!
Unit 01's sync ratio is over 400%!
She's reawakening.
It's eating... the Angel.
The S2 engine... Unit 01 is taking it into herself!
The bindings!
Bindings?
That's right. Those plates weren't just armor.
Those were restraints that allowed us to suppress the Eva's true power.
And now those bindings are being undone by the Eva's own might.
We can't stop the Eva anymore!
Unit 01's been awakened and set free.
Seele sure won't stay quiet for this!
Was this also part of your scenario, Commander Ikari?
It has begun.
Yes, it all begins here.
I'm still alive.
Paging Dr. Odani in the First Internal Department.
Ayanami!
I'm so glad you're safe!
My father still hasn't come?
Thank you...
for saving me.
Saving?
Didn't you sacrifice Unit 00 to save me, Ayanami?
I see, so I saved you?
Yeah, don't you remember?
Not that, I don't know.
I think I must be the third one, that's why.
Rei Ayanami!
It can't be! You mean the dummy plugs are...?
Yes. These are the cores of the dummy system.
And this is the manufacturing plant for it.
These...!?
These are just dummies. And nothing more than parts for Rei.
Man found God
and in their joy, tried to make Him theirs.
That's why there was divine retribution.
That happened 15 years ago.
But the God they found at that time was lost again.
But then, they tried to resurrect God on their own.
The result was Adam.
And imitating God, they created people from Adam.
The result was the Evas.
People? They're human?!
Yes, they're human.
Inside the empty shell of each Eva is a human soul.
These are tears?
They were all salvaged.
This should be the first time I’ve seen them,
But the only vessel which can hold a soul is Rei.
but I feel like this isn’t the first time.
She was the only one born with a soul.
Am I crying?
The Chamber of Guf was empty, you see.
Why am I crying?
These things here that look like Rei have no souls.
They're just vessels.
That's why I'm going to destroy them. Because I hate them.
You! Do you have any idea what you're doing?!
Yes, I do.
I'm destroying them. They're not people.
They're things shaped like people.
You're late!
Sorry, sorry.

Correct. Switch all control to the dummy plug.
But the dummy system still has a lot of problems,
Dr. Akagi hasn't approved its use!
It's still better than the current pilot!
Do it!
What did you do, Father?!
All systems nominal.
Power is increasing.
Touji was really sorry about everything.
His little sister yelled at him.
She said that it was the robot that saved our lives.
Stop it!
Father! Stop! Stop doing this!
Dammit! Stop it!
Stop,
stop,
stop!
STOP!
I'll try this one. I wonder if he'll eat it tomorrow?
Shinji. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you.
The pilot of Unit 03 is...
The Fourth Child is...
Touji...
Shinji... Shinji!
Can you tell me what my father's like?
Well, there's a surprise question.
I would have thought you'd ask about Katsuragi.
It seems like you're always with my father, Kaji.
The Vice Commander is the one who's always with him.
Have you been asking around about your father?
I just haven't been around him much.
So, you really don't know him?
But I've learned a lot about him lately.
I've learned how he feels about his work... about my mother...
That is why-
No, you're wrong. You only think you understand,
people can't really understand others,
not even themselves.
Understanding 100% of anything is impossible.
That's why we spend so much time trying to understand
our own motivations and those of others. That's what makes life so interesting.
So you don't understand Misato either?
The Kanji that we use for the word "she" means "a woman far away,"
and women will always seem to be on a distant shore...
to us.
What were you doing in Kyoto?
That's a souvenir from Matsushiro.
Don't try to fool me.
You'll get your fingers burned if you get too involved in this.
That's the advice of a friend.
I'd rather be burned by the heat of my passion for you.
Well, should I buy you some fireworks, then?
Welcome back!
You haven't changed, have you, you player?
Kaji, do you think I've changed?
Of course I've changed. To live is to change.
You're even prettier.
I'm tired of being pretty. I'm tired of keeping myself clean.
Homeostasis and transistasis.
What are those?
I'm tired of pretending to be pure and noble. So tired of it all.
One is a force for the status quo, and the other's a force for change.
A living thing is something that has both of these conflicting qualities.
I want to disgrace myself.
I want to see my life and my reputation ruined.
Like men and women.
Katsuragi, it's me.
I'm sure you're listening to this message,
especially after I caused so much trouble.
Sorry.
Please tell Ritsuko I'm sorry, too.
And there's one more thing to trouble you with...
I've been growing flowers.
I'd appreciate it if you could water them for me.
Shinji knows where they are.
Katsuragi...
the truth is with you.
Don't hesitate. Move ahead.
If I can see you again,
I will say the words I could not eight years ago.
Bye.
You fool.
You were always such a fool!
You're a little late, aren't you?
Stop saying such moronic things, stupid Shinji!
How many times must I tell you?!
Kaji is gone!
It's a lie...
Singing is good.
Singing brings joy and revitalizes the human soul.
Music is the highest achievement of the Lilin culture.
Don't you think so...
Shinji Ikari?
That's my name...
Everyone knows your name.
Excuse me, but you'd better be aware of your own position.
Is that so?
Umm, who are you?
I am Kaworu. Nagisa, Kaworu.
I am one of the selected children, like you. The Fifth Child.
You're the Fifth Child? Um, Nagisa...
Call me Kaworu, Ikari.
Me too! Hmm.. Shinji is fine.
Well, let's go.
Come, Adam's alter ego, and the servant of the Lilin.
Eva Unit 02 just activated!
That's impossible!
Where's Asuka?!
She's in Room 303!
I've confirmed it!
Then who the hell is it?!
It's unmanned! Unit 02's entry plug hasn't been inserted!
No one? Then the Fifth Child isn't there?
AT Field detected in Central Dogma!
Unit 02?
No! The pattern is blue! There's no doubt, it's an Angel!
What did you say?!
That boy is an Angel?
The target has passed through the 4th defensive layer,
and is still descending!
It's no good! We can't cut the power to the linear motor car!
Target passing by the fifth level!
Seal all shutters and bulkheads surrounding Central Dogma!
Anything to gain time.
Closing all bulkheads immediately. Emergency.
All personnel, evacuate.
I never imagined Seele would send one directly to us.
The old men intend to step up the schedule by forcing our hand.
People forget their foolishness and repeat the same mistakes.
If humans do not redeem themselves willingly, they will not change.
We will not rely on the powers of Adam or the Angels.
We must advance into the future by our own means.
Unit 01 will be our instrument.
Unit 02 has penetrated the armored shutters!
Target has penetrated the second barrier, sir!
Send Unit 01 in to pursue it.
Yes, sir.
Under all circumstances the last Angel must be kept...
from entering Terminal Dogma.
But why did the Angel take Unit 02?
You don't think it's going to attempt to fuse with Unit 02, do you?
Or it will try to bring about our total destruction.
It's a lie!
I won't believe that Kaworu is an Angel! It's a lie!
It's a fact, accept it. Sortie, ok?
Shinji is late...
Eva Unit 01 descending via Route 2.
It's about to intercept the target.
You betrayed me. You betrayed my feelings!
You betrayed me just like my father did!
Unit 01 has reached the fourth layer.
It's about to confront the target.
There he is!
I've been waiting, Shinji.
Kaworu!
Asuka, I'm sorry.
Eva series, created from Adam, the beings detested by humans.
Still the Lilin are trying to survive by using them.
I do not understand.
Kaworu! Stop! Why?!
The Evas are made of the same body as I am.
Born from Adam, I can synchronize with it easily...
as long as there is no dominant soul.
Unit 02's soul is now closing itself.
An AT Field?
Yes, you Lilin call it that.
The holy region that must not be invaded by anyone.
The light of the soul.
You Lilin are aware of that.
Aware that the AT Field is the wall of the soul that everyone has.
I don't understand what you're talking about, Kaworu!
Both Evas have penetrated all the way down to the final layer!
20 seconds until the target intercepts Terminal Dogma.
If Unit 01's signal cuts off or disappears...
I know. I'll initiate the self-destruct.
It's better than letting Third Impact take place.
I'm sorry.
It's alright. As long as I'm beside you.
Thank you.
Is this mankind's fate? The hope of man is written in sorrow.
What was that?
An AT Field! The strongest we've ever detected!
Light waves, electromagnetic waves and particles are shut out.
We can't monitor anything!
A real barrier?
The target, Eva Units 02 and 01, all missing.
We lost communication with the pilot!
Kaworu!
Wait!
Final safety system released!
Heaven's Door is opening.
An Angel has finally reached it?
Hyuga...
What?!
Status?
It's another AT Field!
A field as strong as the first one has appeared around Terminal Dogma.
It's breaking through the other AT Field!
It can't be! Another Angel?
Negative! I can't confirm it.
N-no... It just disappeared!
Disappeared? The Angel?!
Adam, our mother being.
Those born from Adam must return to Adam,
even if it means annihilating humanity?
No, it's not... this is...
Lilith?!
I see. I understand, Lilin.
Thank you, Shinji.
I wanted you to take Unit 02 from me.
Otherwise, I might have lived much longer with her.
Kaworu... why?
It is my destiny to live forever,
though my survival will destroy the human race.
However, it is possible for me to be killed,
and whether I live or die makes no difference to me.
Death is the only absolute freedom.
What? Kaworu.
I don't understand what you're talking about, Kaworu.
This is my final request.
Now, erase me.
Otherwise you will be the one destroyed.
The form of life choosen to escape the time of annihilation and to obtain the future can only be one.
And you are not the existence which should die.
You all need the future.
Thank you. I am happy I met you.
