Screenshots	Cut #	Description/Dialogue	Commentary
	107	WOMAN (OFF):“T minus 300 minutes to Unit 03 activation test.”
	108	TEXT:“Test Site 2, Matsushiro” MAN (OFF):“Main power supply, no problems.” TEXT:“Temporary Underground Cage (unmanned)” WOMAN (OFF):“Second apoptosis is nominal.”	UrsusArctos: After the arrival of Ireul and Leliel, they really should have done a more thorough check for contamination.
	109	RITSUKO (OFF):“Roger. Team B, commence operation.” TEXT:“Same - Surface Facility” MAN (OFF):“Coolant systems are normal in all sectors.” WOMAN (OFF):“Repairs to left arm crimp lock completed.” TEXT:“Eva Unit-03 Activation Experiment Integrated Control Position”
	110A	TEXT:“On Board Central General Command vehicle” MAN (OFF):“No problems detected in the data link to Unit 01.”	Frogatr: As per usual, Americans in anime depicted with blonde hair. I guess it is an easy visual signifier.
	110B	RITSUKO:“It could even go into combat as is.” MISATO:“Really? That's nice.” RITSUKO:“Now that was a half-hearted reply. You know, once this unit is cleared for duty, it'll be assigned directly under your command.”
	111	MISATO:“The exclusive control of four Evas... If you wanted to, you could destroy the world.”	Dr. Nick: I remember Cannon God Exaxxion teased a plot development like this, but sadly did ultimately almost nothing with it.
	112	RITSUKO:“Have you told Shinji yet?” MISATO:“I will when the test is over.”
	113	WOMAN (OFF):“The Fourth Child has arrived.”
	114	WOMAN (OFF):“Second squad, begin readying the entry vehicle immediately.”
	115
	116	HIKARI:“He's not here yet, is he, Asuka?” ASUKA:“He may not be coming today.”
	117	HIKARI:“I thought we might finally eat together today... Do you want this?”
	118
	119	KENSUKE:“Unit 03's already in Japan, isn't it?” SHINJI:“Yeah, I think it got here yesterday.”
	120	KENSUKE:“Must be nice. I wonder who's going to pilot it? Maybe it's Toji? He's absent today, after all.”
	121	SHINJI:“No way!”
	122
	123	WOMAN (OFF):“Entry plug fixed in place.”
	124	WOMAN (OFF):“Initiating first connection. Transmitting pulse.”
	125	WOMAN (OFF):“Graph readout is normal. Checklist cleared up to 1350.”
	126	RITSUKO:“Roger. Shift the operation to phase two.” WOMAN (OFF):“No problems found in initial contact phase.”
	127A	WOMAN (OFF):“All nerve links are normal. Checklist cleared up to 2550.”
	127B	WOMAN (OFF):“All harmonics are normal.”
	127C	WOMAN (OFF):“We are now exceeding the absolute border.”
	128		UrsusArctos: The amount of tension being built up to this point was tremendous, and now that the Eva's gone all red-eyed, there's no return.
	129
	130	RITSUKO:“Abort the test! Break the circuit!”
	131
	132	WOMAN (OFF):“No good! High energy readings detected in body!”
	133	RITSUKO:“Impossible!”
	134		UrsusArctos: Bardiel, like Ireul, is a colony of microbes, except that Bardiel resembles a slime fungus rather than a group of nanomachines. Combined with its modus operandi, it gives off a certain...grossness that none of the other Angels truly match.
	135	RITSUKO:“An Angel?!”
	136		Dr. Nick: I guess what causes this explosion is Bardiel blasting the A.T. Field out, perhaps even in an omnidirectional manner.
File:18 C137a.jpg	137		UrsusArctos: This looks to be a plain ordinary explosion, not one of the familiar cross-shaped explosions. Dr. Nick: Wait a minute... That's the Sahaquiel explosion from episode 12 with a different foreground! With the transparent hill and everything, although in this case it passes for a brightly lit background element.
