	062	Hospital room. Bed from the angle of his feet. Hikari and Touji. HIKARI:“It’s okay. Don’t worry about that. But, I’m sorry. They said I cannot bring you a lunch here.” TOJI:“(looking at the window) Class representative.” Hikari shyly glances away while talking to Touji. HIKARI:“What?” TOJI:“Can I entrust you with something?” HIKARI:“Yes.” TOJI:“Can you tell my sister there’s nothing wrong with me?” HIKARI:“Yes.”	Pluto: The reveal of Touji without an arm and a leg. Another example of Anno's penchant for displaying broken characters without limbs due to the influence of his father's accident and amputation. UrsusArctos: Toji is the best elder brother a little sister could want, putting her needs above his even when he's missing a leg. Regarding Anno's penchant for displaying broken characters, Anno's father lost his left leg, which is the same leg that Toji loses, making it a very personal and very straight reference to his father's injury. At first we weren't clear if he was missing his left arm too, but a deleted scene from from End of Evangelion would have shown Toji playing wheelchair basketball with Kensuke, using both arms, so it would seem he has both arms intact (we see both arms when he's being extracted). Mr. Tines: Whereas Yamashita ran with the seeming, and put Toji, the ¥600 million man, in ANIMA; also goodbye to the school chums. Dr. Nick: Idle thoughts, but I wonder if Toji managed to receive a leg prosthetic before the whole world was tanged. Thanks to Kiel, we know advanced human cybernetics are a thing in Evangelion, and as an Eva pilot I'm sure Toji would be entitled to a state of the art replacement limb. I can just imagine Kensuke being red-in-the-face jealous at Toji's new thought-controlled mecha leg. But then again, considering how recent the injury is, Toji would likely return from the sea of LCL with his limbs intact again.
