209

RITSUKO (OFF):“We can think of them as micro-machines.”






210

RITSUKO (OFF):“Angels the size of microbes.”

UrsusArctos: The originally aired images for cut 210 were far brighter (210a and 210b). Interesting how the camera has a pentagonal aperture.






211

RITSUKO:“Those individuals have aggregated together and have undergone explosive evolution to achieve intelligence circuits in this short amount of time.”

FUYUTSUKI:“Evolution...”

RITSUKO:“Yes.”




212

RITSUKO:“They're continuously changing themselves, searching for a system that can cope with any situation.”




213

FUYUTSUKI:“That's truly the system of life itself.”






214

MISATO:“Against an enemy that evolves to overcome its weaknesses, the only effective countermeasure is to eliminate the host and let the parasite die with it. We have no choice but to have it die with the Magi.”

UrsusArctos: This is an extremely stupid idea, given that the Angel physically exists outside the Magi and is capable of incredibly rapid evolution. Destroying the Magi would simply free the Angel to take a whole new form with which to attack them.






215

MISATO:“I propose the physical elimination of the Magi.”






216

RITSUKO:“That's impossible. Destroying the Magi is tantamount to destroying headquarters itself.”






217

MISATO:“Then I officially request it on behalf of the Operations Division.”




218

RITSUKO:“I refuse. This is a matter for the Technology Department.”




219

MISATO:“Why are you being so mule-headed?!”

dzzthink: Misato's suggestions seem pretty outlandish and bullheaded (not even bothering to consider any other suggestions). It seems like the last possible option would be to destroy Magi, considering its importance to running everything.








220

RITSUKO:“This situation is a result of my carelessness.”








221

MISATO:“You've always been like this. You always take the responsibility on your own shoulders”






222

MISATO (OFF):“and won't depend on others.”

RITSUKO:“If the Angel keeps evolving, we have a chance.”






223

IKARI:“Expedite its evolution?”

RITSUKO:“Yes.”

IKARI:“The end of evolution is self-destruction. Death itself.”

FUYUTSUKI:“Thus, we just need to accelerate its evolution.”

RITSUKO:“If the Angel considers it the only practical means of survival, it may choose to co-exist with the Magi system.”

UrsusArctos: The way the characters are standing and looking down at the display is very visually reminiscent of similar scenes in Uchuu Senkan Yamato. As noted in Episode 06 Cut 065 Anno is a huge Yamato fan so this was almost certainly a Yamato homage.


Dr. Nick: The bulkhead-closing action in this episode is also very Yamato-esque. Of course, whenever Nerv's strategy meetings make use of those huge floor displays, that's likely referencing the original Mobile Suit Gundam instead.


Zusuchan: The whole "end of evolution is self-destruction" idea bandied about by Gendo and Fuyutsuki seems weird and needlessly bleak, since they seem to think that evolution's end and an organism's subsequent death are both inevitable. Still, I'm pretty sure people and animals and so on don't die once they've stopped biologically evolving (and the end of intellectual evolution is only an intellectual, metaphorical death rather than physiological), so I'd argue both Gendo and Fuyutsuki are quite wrong here.




224

HYUGA:“But how?”






225

RITSUKO:“If the target is a computer itself,”






226

RITSUKO (OFF):“we can counter-hack it by”

TEXT:“Submitted Resolving Processing”




227

RITSUKO (OFF):“connecting Casper to the Angel and uploading a self-destruct acceleration program, but...”

IBUKI:“At the same time, we'll be turning off the barrier to the Angel.”




228

IKARI:“So it would be a battle of speed between Casper and the Angel.”




229

RITSUKO:“Yes.”




230

MISATO:“That program had better make it on time. If Casper is contaminated as well, it'll all be over.”






231

RITSUKO:“I'll keep my promise.”








232

ANNOUNCEMENT:“Alert R issued! Alert R issued! An emergency has occurred”

Mr. Tines: It looks like the module where they are assembling is also the module Naoko splattered with her blood.


UrsusArctos: They're gathering around Caspar, but the Magi that Naoko splattered with her blood was the central one, Balthasar.







233

ANNOUNCEMENT:“in Nerv Headquarters. All D-class personnel”








234

ANNOUNCEMENT:“must evacuate.”






235










236








237

IBUKI:“What is all this?”








238








239

RITSUKO:“Scribbles left by the developer.”

IBUKI:“Amazing! These are back doors! Magi's back doors!”






240

MISATO (OFF):“So it's a veritable encyclopedia of all the tricks up the Magi's sleeve.”

IBUKI:“Is it okay to see these? What a surprise!”






241

IBUKI (OFF):“This is INT-C!”




242

IBUKI:“With these we can program much faster than we thought, right, Ma'am?”






243




244

RITSUKO (OFF):“Thank you, Mother. We can make it for sure now.”

TEXT:“Ikari, you jerk!”

dzzthink: Huh, interesting that Naoko left a scribble cursing Ikari. Seems like their relationship was quite tenuous at times, with Naoko hiding many grievances and bitterness.
