	336	BGM START: E-9 [A STEP FORWARD INTO TERROR] The locks on EVA-01's feet disengage and sparks scatter.	Reichu: I've wondered why such a spirited song has such an ominous title; “A STEP FORWARD INTO THE UNKNOWN” seems more appropriate to the musical mood conveyed. This is one of those pieces that, for me, perfectly captures the spirit of the anime — the first half of it, anyway, before things turn darker and this BGM is nowhere to be heard. Nerv is sending these grand, majestic Evangelions — piloted by children in their early teens — into uncertain battle with all of the confidence that they can muster. I suppose, despite appearances, there really is an aspect of terror involved, in that they are fighting something they don't understand, using something they understand just as little, and there are no guarantees.
