Screenshots Cut # Description/Dialogue Commentary



181

IBUKI (OFF):“Because of the Angel's radio disturbance, the target has been lost.”

Mr. Tines: Presumably,(re-)entry ionization causing the expected blackout.


UrsusArctos: Background dialogue in Cut 195 gives an estimate for impact at 120 minutes, and that is a while after this scene, but reentry for the Shuttle and Soyuz usually takes place in a matter of minutes. I guess Sahaquiel itself really is generating the radio interference. What's funny is that Sahaquiel is one of the largest Angels and somewhere close to a kilometer in width. Optical telescopes on the ground could easily spot something that huge in Low Earth Orbit.





182

MISATO (OFF):“We can't determine the exact location, but based on the data up until we lost it, the estimated point of impact calculated by the Magi”




183

MISATO:“is here.”

ASUKA:“The range is this wide?”






184

SHINJI:“The distance from one side to the other is enormous.”

RITSUKO:“Given the size of the target's AT Field, it could totally annihilate HQ by hitting anywhere in this zone.”






185

MISATO (OFF):“Given that, we'll station the Evas at each of these three points.”








186

REI:“On what grounds is this dispersal based?”

MISATO:“Intuition.”

SHINJI & ASUKA:“Intuition?”






187

MISATO:“Yes, a woman's intuition.”








188

ASUKA:“How slipshod! I can see our miracle getting further and further away.”

SHINJI:“Miss Misato has never won the lottery.”




189








190

SHINJI (OFF):“Say...”

ASUKA (OFF):“What?”






191

SHINJI:“Asuka, why do you pilot an Eva?”

ASUKA:“To exhibit my talent to the world, of course.”

SHINJI:“You mean to prove that you exist?”








192

ASUKA:“Yeah, something like that. You're not going to ask her?”




193

SHINJI (OFF):“I've asked Ayanami before.”
















194

ASUKA:“My, how intimate the two of you are.”

SHINJI:“It's not like that.”

ASUKA:“Then what about you, Shinji?”

SHINJI:“I don't know.”

ASUKA:“You don't know? What are you, stupid?”

SHINJI:“Maybe I am.”








195

ASUKA:“You really are stupid.”

IBUKI (OFF):“One hundred twenty minutes to estimated time of impact.”






196

MISATO:“You all evacuate too. I can take care of this myself.”






197

AOBA:“No, this is our job as well.”

HYUGA:“We can't let the kids risk their lives by themselves.”






198

MISATO:“They'll be fine.”






199

MISATO (OFF):“Even if the Evas are badly damaged,”






200

MISATO (OFF):“their AT Fields”






201

MISATO (OFF):“will protect”

UrsusArctos: Asuka has earphones and is listening to music? Looks like someone forgot that the interior of a plug is filled with LCL - unless Asuka's player is somehow waterproof!


Dr. Nick: Well, if the supposed liquid is never normally depicted as such after the start-up sequence, what's the harm? But it bears repeating that the way LCL behaves as a plug-filler medium is one of the most nonsensical things in the whole show. It's Futurama-levels of whacked.





202

MISATO (OFF):“the kids.”






203

MISATO:“Inside an Eva is the safest place to be.”






204








205

MISATO (OFF):“Shinji,”






206

MISATO (OFF):“yesterday you asked me why I joined Nerv.”




207

MISATO (OFF):“My father was a man who lived for his research, for his dreams, to the exclusion of all else. I could never forgive him for that.”






208

MISATO (OFF):“I even hated him.”

SHINJI (MONO):“Just like my father.”




209

MISATO (OFF):“He never took care of me, my mother or the family. His friends always said he was very sensitive and delicate. But the truth was that he was just a weak person running away from reality, the reality called his family. He was like a kid. I readily agreed with my mother when she decided to divorce him, because she was always crying. It seemed to have come as a shock to him, but at the time, I laughed at him because I felt he'd brought it on himself.”

UrsusArctos: Gendo and Dr. Katsuragi have a lot in common, and the "weak person running away from the reality called his family" description fits Gendo to a T. Of course, this is difficult to spot in Gendo because of his cold, harsh exterior shell, but it turns out to be evident by the end. Shinji and Misato, likewise, have more in common than is otherwise evident, and it's easy to see from this scene why Misato truly is Evangelion's deuteragonist.




210

MISATO (OFF):“But he sacrificed himself to save my life”






211

MISATO:“at the end.”




212

MISATO:“Back during the Second Impact. Then, I didn't know whether I hated him or loved him. The only thing that was clear to me was I wanted to destroy the Angels who caused the Second Impact. So in order to do that, I joined Nerv. In the end, maybe I just want to”




213

MISATO:“get revenge on my father,”














214

MISATO (OFF):“so that I can free myself of him.”

UrsusArctos: The various shots of Shinji's past and facing Eva-01 actually hint at the opposite. Misato says she wants revenge for her father so she can be free of him. However, as much as Shinji hates his father (like Misato hated hers), he's seeking to connect to the father who abandoned him. The last shot of Gendo's back with the French and Russian Seele committee members is out-of-place and weird: Shinji never meets the committee, and what relevance would they have to him?


Zusuchan: I feel like these various shots are a slight tease of the show getting darker and closer to the strange, dark weirdness usually associated with Eva.



215

SHINJI (MONO):“I mustn't run away. I mustn't run away. I mustn't run away.”










216




217

SHINJI (MONO):“Right.”








218

SHINJI (MONO):“I must not run away.”
