109

REI:“Ikari?”










110

ASUKA:“You idiot, what are you doing?!”










111

SHINJI (OFF):“Miss Misato, what's going on?!”

Mr. Tines: "I should have run away. I should have run away. ..."






112

SHINJI (OFF):“Miss Misato? Asuka! Ayanami! Where's the backup?”

Dr. Nick: You'd think in a situation like this the Eva's power cable would be a life-saving asset, but unfortunately Leliel expands too fast for the girls to reel Unit-01 in.








113A

SHINJI (OFF):“Miss Misato?! Can you hear me?! Miss Misato!”

MISATO:“Eject the plug! Send the signal!”








113B

IBUKI:“It's not working! No response!”

UrsusArctos: I swear Maya says "dame desu" more often than Uhura gets to open hailing frequencies. And if the damned entry plug can be relied on to fail to eject when it needs to!


Dr. Nick: I'm wondering, is this failure the Angel's doing, or is it a secret security measure devised by Gendo to prevent the all-important Unit-01 from being abandoned?

SHINJI (OFF):“Miss Misato! Miss Misato!”

Mr. Tines: Black frame (https://wiki.evageeks.org/images/6/60/16_C114ed.jpg) missing.


UrsusArctos: Not sure, seems like a goof in our image uploading. Seeing Eva-01 disappear into the dark really does sell Shinji's frantic cries for Misato, however.







115

MISATO:“Shinji!”

UrsusArctos: Ick, the QUALITY here ruins what could have been an incredibly powerful moment.








116

MISATO (OFF):“Asuka! Rei! Rescue Unit 01! Hurry!”








117

ASUKA:“That idiot. What's the point of doing well only on practice exams?!”










118

UrsusArctos: Interesting, what kind of ammo does that rifle use? It creates orange-red halations when it fires!












119




120

IBUKI:“It disappeared again.”

RITSUKO:“Asuka, be careful.”




121








122

ASUKA:“A shadow?”














123

UrsusArctos: In contrast with Leliel's initial appearance the shadow appears like an actual shadow before turning into a flattened black hole.


Dr. Nick: If you want to experience some interactive Leliel action, you can play hole.io on your browser.











124

Frogatr: Asuka is pretty good at improvising here, very quick thinking.








125

ASUKA:“No!”

Dr. Nick: This is a scene that often gets brought up in a context that mildly grinds my gears. Yes, Evangelions are different from other mechs in that the creators wanted to be cute and didn't assign any one canon height stat to them, instead opting for a rule of cool sliding scale of 40-200 meters I believe (for source, you would need to dig through some old Super Robot Wars games). Sometimes the Evas tower over the buildings of Tokyo-3, whereas in here Asuka needs to climb up one. But besides the Gainax boys saying the quiet part aloud, this actually isn't some sort of crafty genre subversion - despite what the stats might claim, all conventionally animated robot shows run on rule of cool, and if you wish to ruin your fun and start looking for inconsistencies, you're going to find them. Let's take Char's Counterattack as an example: it's a high-budget, comparatively realistic theatrical Gundam film, so you'd think the robots would be animated pretty consistently, but go ahead and pay really close attention to the Sazabi and its ball cockpit. You won't be able to unsee it.

Interestingly enough, while 3D animation obviously does away with a lot of the scaling issues of the old, the really good CG mecha animators know that sometimes you need to cheat and use intentionally off-model assets to create those dynamic shots, as memorably shown in the behind-the-scenes segments of Fafner Exodus.








131










132

ASUKA (OFF):“The city!”

MISATO (OFF):“Asuka, Rei, pull back.”












133

ASUKA:“Bu...”

REI (OFF):“Wait!”




134

REI:“Unit 01 and Ikari are still in there.”

UrsusArctos: Rei has an expression of genuine worry for Eva-01 and Shinji. She's worried about the Eva because she knows that it's a person, and this subtle hint shall bear fruit by the end of this episode.

136

MISATO:“This is an order. Retreat.”
