	041	?? (OFF):“It is impossible for us to recover the Lance of Longinus.” ?? (OFF):“Why did you use it?” ?? (OFF):“We still do not have the planned number of the Eva series.”	UrsusArctos: Although the timeline is fuzzy, not much time appears to pass between Episode 23 and the events of End of Evangelion, where nine mass-production Evangelions are deployed in combat, and therefore those Evas should be fairly far along in construction (last discussed in Episode 20). The last Seele member's grumbling about not having the planned number of the Eva series comes off as either hypocrisy or a deliberate attempt at hiding their existence from Gendo.
